so I'm gonna order silkworms for the first time. I am going to buy 250 and they only come with a petri dish of food for a day. So I was wondering do I keep them in the fridge like other worms? or just on a shelf with the mulberry food?
 
Hi, to hatch them out you want to have high 70's to mid 80's temps. Once hatch room temps will be fine. I would suggest only putting small pieces of food in with them and clearing out the poo daily.
 
I'm not ordering eggs live silkworms in this kind of petri dish with mesh or something for poop, sorry for not being so clear
 
74-80* ambients temps will do best for the worms. The screen is a great deal. Still clean the feces up daily, only feed enough for a couple days at most (Daily is recommended) as the food will either A. Dry out or B. Mold.
