Day Five

Connoisseurs of Mulberry Leaves.  Nom, nom, nom.

Silkworms only eat mulberry leaves.

They do not drink water as they consume all the moisture they need  from the mulberry leaves.

Last season I was told that I could feed my silkworms lettuce leaves.

I tried this once, when my supply of mulberry leaves was low and they said: NO NO NO!

Living quarters upgrade,

from the above to.....

this!

Leaves need to be changed two to three times a day. 

If the tank is covered this prevents the leaves from drying out so the leaves will need to be changed less often.

My  plan is to feed them from one side of the tank, discarding the older leaves as the silkworms transfer themselves to the fresh leaves.

So wish me luck!
