What do you keep the moths in and what do you feed them? Do you just give them the cooked mulberry food?

When the moths emerge they are transferred into a separate box/container they do not eat or drink anything they simply mate and die within a week. Quick question can you feed the male moths to your beardie when they have bred? Read conflictings comments cheers

Moths only live one week. I just keep them in a paper towel lined shoe box..no lid. They do not eat or drink. They just mate...

I am going to try to breed some of the ones I have. Does anyone know if there is a way of making your own mulberry food?

But I think it would be easier to just buy the dry mulberry chow, and make it. :roll:

Well if I had mulberry leaves I wouldnt need the food.lol :roll: Oh well it was worth a shot.
