Ok so finally got my box of silkworms in after a couple weeks... freaking usps... -_-- Most of them are dead surprisingly 6 are still alive I had two that coocooned to the top of the lid. How long do u guys suppose my silks that are alive will stay alive? I know they are extremely suseptible to bacteria... and I can just imagine how bad it was beeingin that box with the other dead ones. Also how long does it normally take for the moths to come out the coocoons? I dont really know when they actually coocooned.....

Also once they emerge as moths.... what should I keep the moths in? I do know the moths dont eat or fly... just mate lay eggs and then die about a week....
 
hmmmmmmm I might just go buy a shoebox container from the dollar store and ptu them in there.... Im not sure if they need a wide area or just a shoebox is fine.
