And I'm pleased to announce that in the 2 months I've had him, he has DOUBLED his weight. He was 10 months old and 100 grams when I got him, now he's a year old and 200 grams. Still small for his age but he's definitely getting there!
i ordered them in from the local petshop, they are pretty expensive - $13 for 20 worms. I was going to try to breed them but there are no mulberry trees close enough for me to get enough leaves at the moment, and the silkworm food stuff that you can buy in America isn't readily available here.
