Finally after 5 weeks of not eating has started eating again. She finally ate a cricket yesterday. I did see her eat one today too. I was really worried. I have put some silkies in there too. She is very skinny, about how long should it take for her to put some weight on? She is not eating much...
I have some silk worms that are getting very large. At what size do they normally spin a cocoon? I am wanting some to turn into moths. They are about 2 to 2.5 inches long right now.
This all started shen I moved my panther to her new cage 30" x 30" x 5.5' tall cage. She stopped eating. I have a reptisun 5.0 tube light, a 100 watt basking light, a drip system, I spray 3-4 times a day. She is still drinking. Her urates are white. I have 2 ficus trees, 2 umbrella plants and 2...

It has been a month for me. I have not been able to get her to eat a thing. I took her to the vet. He could not find anything. I have tried crickets, silkies, wax, butter, meal, and superworms but she won't eat a think. She is so skinny, I am not sure she will pull out of it. My vet tried to...
Thanks for your imput. I will wait til monday. If they have not arrived I will give them a call. I wanted to use 2 day but that would have been $76 for shipping.
I ordered silkworms from them on the 17th. When I orderd some from mulberry farms I had them in 2 days. I had them shipped priority USPS because I couldn't afford to pay more then $36 for shipping. I have to work then next 4 days and I don't get home til 7pm. I do have a cover porch. But I...
Well I just checked on him and his mouth is closed. He doesn't seem to be wheezing. Yesterday was the first day that he ate mostly silkworms. Is it possible that I feed him to many. He was eating about 12 crickets a day, yesterday I gave him 8 silkworms. There are still about 4 crickets roaming...
When I turned on the lights to my veiled's cage this morning I noticed that when he come out of his hiding place that his mouth was open. I thought that it was because I was misting his cage which is 30" wide X 30" deep X 5.5 feet tall. I am in the process of switching him over to silkworms as...
I am trying to switch over to silkworms being my staple. I am not sure how many to feed him per day. Does someone know how many crickets = 1 silkworm? I thought I read somewhere that 1 med. silkworm = 2-3 large crickets but I can't seem to find it again. Thanks for your help.
I am interested in trying to raise silkworms from eggs. What do I need to be able to do this? My veild absolutely loves them. I figure raising them from eggs would be alot less expensive if I could figure out how to do it.
I just got my silkworms yesterday from Mulberry farms. Packaging was great. They all seemed alive to me. I got small, but next time I will order med. They are a little small for my 5 month veiled. He absolutely loves them. I did not think they smelled that bad. I think I am going to try to...
