Are you going to let some of them morph and make another batch of eggs?
I think I'll have no choice, counted the large worms this afternoon when I've cleaning the two 4.5L tubs and giving them some more chow , got 80 of them , and about 60 mediums (from the July batch) .
I'm giving two each per day to Peppa and the two BTs , Toothless prefers his silkworms to be under 2 inches so he gets 3 - 4 of them per day.
I'll never use them all before they morph.
Guess I could blanch and freeze some of the large ones too if I really wanted too, but I can't see my having a shortage of silkworms anytime for the foreseeable future as I've already got stacks of eggs in the fridge from October and from the last batch too , my problem the last month was unavailable fresh mulberry leaves, they are available again now, and I've got a batch coming from Sydney next week (same lady I gut my last lot of leave off).
