Hi everyone. I just bought a zebra silkworm cup online that should have 60-80 small silkworms in it along with silkworm chow. With shipping and tax it was only about fourteen bucks! My neighbors have a mulberry tree in their front yard too! They rent, so I'm sure they'd be fine with me pulling a few leaves here and there.

I got the silkworms for Custard, because he hasn't been interested in crickets ever since I have been medicating him for coccidia and worms. He only eats up to 5 crickets a day. Otherwise, they scare him. I think those are the nasty buggers that gave him the parasites anyway :roll: . He eats kale when I dangle it from some tweezers. He's so spoiled! I only syringe fed him baby food once, but the stress is too much for us both.

Dubias are also illegal her in FL :( He still likes supers, but I am scared that they are too large for him. I can't wait to see what he will think of the silkworms! I'll update later.

Even though he's sick, he's still as alert as ever. Here he is in his ninja stance:

I'm getting a new temp gauge soon btw :)

You will be amazed at how many leaves those little booges can eat. :lol:

Hope your little one is feeling better soon...nasty crickets I wouldn't doubt they are the culprits. :x

:banghead: The person that I bought from refunded me, because she doesn't have silkworms right now. I have to order from someone else now. Sigh...

Crickets are nasty. If they weren't such a "staple" I'd stop feeding them to him altogether.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
