Hi!
I’ve had this issue before with silkworms because the container they come in gets so much moisture (from the food at the bottom) plus they poop a lot. Last time a yellow mold randomly started and spread quickly. I fed a couple of the worms when it was just a small patch of mold but once it grew I threw them away. Similar issue today, I had accidentally put my order in twice and got too many. The second tub had a bit too much poop which started molding white mold.
I switched these worms from their bad container to the non-moldy container that had just been emptied (all previous worms fed-off). Should I just throw them out? Will they be okay now that they’re in a clean environment? I didn’t wash the actual worms off at all.
