How are the silkworms doing? I think mine are about to hatch, they are starting to turn a light gray color and I can see the dark caterpillar underneath all curled around the edge of the egg. About placing the eggs in the fridge, you have to wait until they turn yellow to brown then gray and...

You could use a shallow water dish, but only about 1/8 of an inch deep so that they don't drown. Keep the substrate wet, but not soaking wet, whether it be coconut coir, soil from outside (pesticide free) or non fertilized potting soil (which most is, so be careful!). I did what someone on...

I ordered 500 silkworm eggs from CoastalSilkworms.com and they arrived two days later. That was with their free shipping offer too! OregonSilkworms.com has pretty cheap silkworm chow by the way. I'm sure you would prefer to order everything at one site...but I'd check both sites out.

Yeah snails are pretty easy to take care of...I imagine if I had more leaves and things involved in the substrate and a small herd of isopods that cleaning the substrate wouldn't be a requirement. I clean the walls at least of the little turds they leave behind....everywhere. The cuttle bone...

Melissa, I too bought snails from the same seller! They have since bred and I have about 36 baby snails from one snail so far. I've been offering them lettuce and carrots and calcium bones meant for birds to peck at. They seem to like it. Have you tried anything else? Good luck with your...

Awesome. I remember when I got my first B. dubia roaches a year ago....now I have over 50,000 that I feed more veggies than I can eat!

and I love these frogs, I enjoy the fact that they eat nearly anything you offer it....of course I would never offer my pyxie a chameleon or anything that naturally it wouldn't come in contact with in the wild. I posted this on frogforum.com by the way. The one in that video sure looked like it...

How long of a diapause do you allow for in the fridge? Or what minimum amount of time should they spend in the fridge and do you place them in the frodge immediately after being laid by the moth? Thanks for the input!

Well, 2-3 weeks in the fridge is nothing compared to half a year haha. I'm about to receive 500 eggs of the "zebra" variety. I think I'll try hatching all of them and then conduct some research on this myself.

I have a question for anyone here..I have asked this on FrogForum but have not received a good explanantion yet.. If given the right incubation temperatures, wouldn't the eggs hatch within a 1-2 week time frame regardless of the time of the year? In other words is it possible to have silkworm...
