So my first go at silkworms went great. Had very few die off and have WAY more eggs then when I started with. The first moth to lay eggs didn't lay a lot 50-100 eggs and then the floods came. Moths dropping well over 200+ eggs, so I cut the paper and put them aside to change colors. The first batch just didn't seem to change, all others changed pretty fast and all went to the fridge. So I had to go out of town for two days and been busy. Got up and do my routine (feeding pets and feeders) I thought well that first batch was infertile and might as well toss them. What a minute they look to have changed now way later then all the others. What a minute they look light grey and ready to hatch Nice I look over and see one hatching and others right behind Sweet. So lay to hatched in just under two weeks. Last time I did mulberry leafs from start to finish. This time I'm going to try chow and see how it goes. Mmmmmm I love some silks.
