Oh man, all of them are a little too crowded? If they keep growing I am going to be swallowed by silks camimom- hows the baby males coming along

So are they too crowded? and can that cardboard work for cocooning

I got shocked from the water bin my air pump was in and yes it could have shocked my babies luckily it got me first

I do and it works great, lucky for me I brought them from someone who was already cup feeding. Though I do keep my cup higher in the cage one time they did wat from it when it fell about a Foot down the cage. Good luck..now I'm a nervous wreck about drinking...newbie alert lol

I dot know that don t sound low tech I'm in Maryland also where u get tippy? Stock cap?... What do you do about water build up it must drip really slow, ill grab a milk jug anyday for my little girls

I am that DIY guy, with not really enough time to go out to the store I chose to use what i had, took an idea off these forums and... Wanted a temporary dripper untill I went to my weekly home depot visit to make a proper valve dripper. It was a pain in the a$$ to get working and once I did, I...

That's weird, I've always had hard poop with leaves, I know when they go in the fridge they collect moisture then I dry them out with paper towels.

My plastic coated hardware cloth bows a lot to where at the top it sometimes have small gaps dipping in under the top lid. Anyone ever worried a small Cham can get through

Oh yes that shocked me as we'll I have a couple hundred and now I'm looking around my apartment trying to think how ima fit all these fast growing huge silks in here. They are a little crowded now, a tip for collecting leaves is to pull from the base to the end, a lot of the times I get little...

I hated the chow thing so this will be the only time ill mention them doing this thread. The women I got my silkworms from had a very high mortality rate. I figured it was due to cleaniness and the fact she didnt consisitently feed them. I could tell from the dried up leaves that looked days...

Okay thanks when you always see words like "can't" and "won't". I take that verbatim lol. Next project blanching and freezing

I initially was planning of using chow for the first instar or until they was ready to eat mature leaves. I was just about to order some worms when I seem a Craigslist ad and as of yesterday I know have a couple hundred baby silkies. The woman pretty much winged it with their care. She fed newly...

I just seen the updated ad I wasn't aware they offered that price range to the general public. Now in the retail list there is two different sizes. For a little more and a couple months older is it worth it?

Yep, my friend orders from them all the time but never chams. Thank you all I'm going with what I know. Jackson's it is

Someone is offering them for 100 each, I was going to get a few pairs of jacksons but this seem like a good deal. They dont have a pic of the adults but they were "captive born", wildcaught parents. Should I go ahead and get them?

Yea ill properly cure it. Would just tied twine around it support the frame? I was thinking using some glue to cover over it after I'm done.

I am harvesting bamboo this weekend and im sure someone else have tried using bamboo to construct their cages. Just looking for ideas on how to construct the actual structure with the wire. How i should connect the bamboo? Wire, twine,nails, bolts?...

Ah no, umm I cant think of how to explain it. But the screen front will still be all screen. I would just use a part of the back as a door and maybe a small hole or something in the side for daily feeding. Theres these little things you can put under furniture to make it slide across the floor...

Ok I got to check that out as soon as possible. I got a dresser im going to use for the silkworms and bookcase type thingy I'm going to practice on, ill be sure to post updates. With this bookcase I found it has a thick wood back so I'm not going to replace it with screen just the front. Couldnt...

:) Thanks I sure will, and is this screen kit for screen doors or windows. I found a few bookcases people are giving away for free, I happen to like me :).
