Woohoo!
hopefully something happened soooon! Lol
When the eggs were laid I put them in the fridge like you should, but I made the mistake of putting them in the door compartment. It doesn't get so cold there with the door opening and closing often, so I moved them to the back of the top shelf, and this is how I think I killed them.
I ended up having to buy more eggs to start again.
worked everytime
I always use the door compartment
i just have them in a polystyrene box just in my front room is this okay ?
I hope I can keep them going. They have been sooooo much easier to deal with in smaller batches and fresh mulberry leaves. I have access to a few trees in peoples yards (with permission, of course) and a big, vine-y bush/tree along a freeway with an open access gate.
I took them out at around Easter time and it has taken 6 weeks or so for them to hatch! Maybe I haven't killed them after all! It'll be just my luck that the whole lot will hatch now! Not looking froward to all the hard work though. Must find any easier way to get the tiny babies onto new food. Any ideas folks?
Will check my temps before I put the next lot in! The ones you put into the fridge - have you incubated any yet? How long did they take to hatch? I've taken some out we over a month ago and nothing has happened at all.
