    silkworm eggs started hatching, too late to chill rest ?

    That's a lot! What are you doing with so many? I have about 250 or so right now. A lot will be spinning soon. My dragon is eating 3-5 big ones a day. I bought most as worms but also bought some eggs to work on that part of the process. I have some eggs laid by my last batch too, still chilling...

    Special treat for Zeus. Sphynx moths

    I think it depends on various things. These eggs I've had over a month without hatching. The person that sold them to me on eBay said they'd need to be chilled. I need to get some in bottles soon because I have probably 500 of them.

    Special treat for Zeus. Sphynx moths

    From the eggs I got about a month ago some are black. I thought that was interesting. I found out these are from South Africa. One thing that is strange and she says they don't need to be refrigerated and also One thing that is strange and she says they don't need to be refrigerated and also...

    Special treat for Zeus. Sphynx moths

    He's eaten a few silkworm moths but sometimes he ignores them. But this he gobbled up! We will see about tomorrow.

    Special treat for Zeus. Sphynx moths

    I ordered hornworms and Zeus didn't eat them all. So I put three aside and they emerged last night. I decided it seemed like too much work to hand feed them and I don't have a big enough enclosure for them to be able to fly. So, I threw them in with Zeus. He ate one and I put the rest into my...

    Exactly. I also true rejuvenating some chow that dried out which was sent with the worms. Will report back!

    This is working GREAT! I don't have many worms so making the small batch is awesome. Thank you!

    silkworm eggs started hatching, too late to chill rest ?

    The eggs I got that I initially thought were bad are hatching 2-3 a day for over a week. I made the mistake of adding new baby leaves on top and got a little mold. I only lost 2-3 worms. Sterilized and carefully moved the tiny worms back and they're fine now. I'm running out of the smallest...

    silkworm eggs started hatching, too late to chill rest ?

    I have had mulberries fresh off the tree at my sister in law's house. Very yummy! Come to think of it I should have eaten some in the woods by my office when I saw them. I just didn't want to take the time to go wash them off at work. The berries are sometimes white and sometimes dark purple here.

    silkworm eggs started hatching, too late to chill rest ?

    The red mulberry tree is native here in Texas, the white is introduced. I have moved them into a small plastic container and that is MUCH better! The leaves are staying fresh all day. I tried an experiment. I placed some white mulberry leaves (which are much more tender) and a large red...

    silkworm eggs started hatching, too late to chill rest ?

    I'm wasting leaves because they never eat them before they dry. Thankfully I have red mulberry near my office. I'm trying to keep the tiny white mulberry leaves for the babies.

    silkworm eggs started hatching, too late to chill rest ?

    Thank you! I have been keeping the ones with leaves in a cardboard box. I also got a shipment that came with chow which I have in a plastic container. I will try moving the first batch out of cardboard and see if that helps. I was just worried about mold.

    silkworm eggs started hatching, too late to chill rest ?

    My leaves go crispy in a matter of hours. I put two layers today. I'm hoping it'll keep fresh longer. Also, I had some eggs that came to me loose in a baggy. They were sort of squished in the packaging. I keep them anyway. Some have hatched and I moved them, some others look greyish but I...

    silkworm eggs started hatching, too late to chill rest ?

    I wonder if I'm causing trouble with them when I move them. Sometimes I'll notice one wander away and I'm afraid it'll go hungry so I move it back. I don't think they're too crowded.

    silkworm eggs started hatching, too late to chill rest ?

    I'm pretty sure I over cooked my first batch. I'm making a new batch tomorrow. I'd use only leaves but since I have some chow and my 2nd batch of worms came with chow it's worth a shot. Unfortunately now I have two batches of small ones now. They were smaller than I hoped but the second were...
