Mailing Silkworm Cocoons?

[Miss Lily]

I have over 40 silkworm cocoon, and I would like to send some to a friend. I know you have to wait until 4 days after they start spinning before touching them. Has anyone mailed cocoons before? Could I just wrap them in tissue and put them in a livefood tub?

You should be fine as long as your temps are above freezing

Thanks. Yes our temps are creeping back up again now the cold snap is over! Seems a good time to send them! Just wasn't sure if it could be done or if it would kill them off with all the jolting around. The postal workers aren't particularly careful! I've never had enough before to post anyone else, but I am going to have way more moths (not to mention eggs!!!) than I need. Seems a shame not to share them so other chams can enjoy them too.
