Fridge time for silk worms

[nightanole]

So i put my first get of blue/grey eggs in the fridge back in December.

When my next gen lays eggs, how long do i need to fridge the eggs to get them to activate? I heard that if you dont fridge them they will take months and months at room temp to hatch. Im trying to get the perpetual motion machine going for summer now that the mulberry has leaves.

I never put mine in the frig and they hatch right away.

I never put mine in the frig and they hatch right away.

I agree! I had some take about a week to turn black then they hatched the next day.

I have about 400 eggs in the fridge too!

Agreed, you don't need to frig them at all if you don't want to. But if you wasn't to save them, go ahead and put them in the frig after they turn colors.
