I got Amy 'n' Tommy a new batch of silkworms - I ordered mediums this time from a different company as the last lot didn't survive. So far these ones are large, juicy and healthy, I have only lost 1 so far. I also ordered some Mulberry leaves from bay and these arrived today (one day after the silks). Since I don't know what Mulberry leaves look like I take it that they are the right thing due to the reaction of the silkies when I gave them some! Yesterday they dined on thinly sliced carrot which they loved.
What I would like to know is, how do I keep the leaves fresh? I keep my other leafy gutload in a tub with damp kitchen towel on top and no lid (thanks Heather!) - would this also work for Mulberry leaves or do I need to freeze them or store them a different way?
