Silkworms?

[VerriKerri]

I'm thinking of switching back to a type of worm for Haku rather than the crickets. I don't know much about silkworms. What's a good place to order from. I was getting my butter worms from Mulberry farms. Are they hard to take care of? How should they be stored and are there any bad sides to them?

I order my silks from Mulberry Farms as well....Silver loves them so much he recognizes the container.Make sure you follow the directions on the bottom of the containers. They easily last a couple weeks. Keep some crickets or supers in his diet ...only saying this because Silvers stools got a little loose from them. I'm pretty sure the chitin helped firm them up again. He also gets Phoenix worms, crickets and an occasional super.

Do you find them easy to store and take care of? Do they turn into anything? Had a terrible experience with a few reptiworms turning into flies and scaring me.

Don't worry....they just get mushy. They start to darken in color and then you know to pick up the pace feeding them off.

Awesome, I think I'll give them a try.
