But if he only gave you a few... like 10... they'll last up to a week with no food if you don't let them get too hot and dry.

haha im worried about what leaves to feed them, and he gave me a TON which is good cuz Reptar seems to like them (has had 2 today). Like 35+ of them. I was planning on using them as part of a "staple" anyway so its a good start.
I was going to order some from mulberry farms too.
leafy greens are a go?

If ya put carrots on a cheese grater I hear they'll eat the little bits.... and then turn orange lol.
You live in OC... find a grade school... and look for a mulberry tree. They have them planted at the schools for when the children grow silk worms.

like i know where a mullberry tree is or looks like haha ill find a homedepot or something with one and steal some leaves there. As long as they will last a while till i find something ill be ok. Reptar loves them and the crickets i have need a few days of growth before they will be big enough to really be seen in the cage so im still figuring out a feeding schedule
:edit:
I found a tree nursery near me that has mulberry trees.... but they have 3 kinds! Persian, Pakastan, and White! Are they all the same, or is one better than the others? Or heaven forbid is one poisonus?
