Silk Worms

[massaman]

what does everyone think of them starting to come into the feeders?

Dont know if I would want to try those but there out there and many people say they are as good or better then fruit flies or small crickets!

If you have a source for them like a vendor at a local show they're great, otherwise the amount of work for upkeep will lead to neglect of the animals you're feeding them to.

I got some free samples from mulberry farms where I buy bulk crickets...and I wouldn't use silk worms for mantises again.

They're a mess. Silk everywhere. Poo everywhere. When they get eaten, goo everywhere.

also if you were to raise then you risk killing them all just by not washing your hands before messing around with there food... if you were to use themfor some reason id buy them big enough to use as feeders then and there instead of buying egg/young ones and growing them up

i sooooo understand why these arent in the wild anymore
