I would feed the same number of same size silkies..
If they go add a few more..

jdany Dec 07, 2003 05:19 PM

In my opinion, 3 adult crickets = 1 adult silkworm.

For a sub-adult, I would feed 2-3 silkworms per day.

(Adult sikworm = /- 3"

I don't know why a smiley came up in my last post.

Adult silkworm = / - 3"

You can't get to silkwormfarm.com??
There's nothing to see on the site yet.. just a header and status bar. (Still working on the rest)
But, you should at least be able to see a half finished page. If not, that isn't good news.

Are you using AOL?
For the last week, they have been having some trouble getting to outside domains... mine was one of them. I was told that they are working on it, and it should be resolved shorthly.

hmmm... I wonder why the email didn't go thru. I also reminded you that I will be away Wed. thru the following Wed. so don't send any silkies

as for your site, this is what I get: a horizontal bar that has 10%, 20% etc. up to 100%. 10-40% is red the rest is white this takes up about 2/3 of the page and is bordered on either side in gray vertical bars. Then there is a blue bar that looks like a hurdle (you know - back in phys ed. days). that's it.

no, I do not use AOL (ick) I use IE and I tried it in Netscape as well. Same thing both times.

You are seeing it as it is!
Thanks for the heads up, but the blankness is intentional.

I start shipping those kits on the 10th and will keep shipping through the 20th. (I will wait until I hear back from you to ship yours)

On the Dec 21st, the website will be live and accepting orders. (still with a tentative shipping table)

ah-ha! maybe you shouldn't have a link to it yet? just a thought. I first linked to it from Tyler's site and when I got just the bars and %'s I tried directly from your "signature" link and when I got the same figured I would tell you.

I will email you when I get back, thanks

LOL I know when I first finished my site a bunch of people looking at it were telling me "Hey, that silkwormfarm.com link doesn't work I think you put the wrong link...." I kept assuring them it wasn't my fault!

Ok, Ok.
The two of you have gone and dun made me feel bad.

Sorry about adding to your workload, Tyler.
But, thanks for the link.

Yeah, I guess I coulda waited a few more ticks to start laying down the link trail. But, everything is right on schedule still.

Aside from a content-challenged website, the boat is sailing. I have my scientific research, completed. I have my stock, piled. I have my guinea pigs, lined-up. The only thing thats missing is the person at the register. Fear not, the store doesn't open until Dec 21st. The link is at the bottom of my posts (now, slightly altered) to let people walk through the muddy construction site.

You are free to peer through the windows and harass the construction crew. Just make sure that you also stop by on opening day to check things out.

I am having such posting trouble today...

the rest of my post got eliminated because I must have used the minus sign.. or equal sign, or something.

small quantity eggs (less than or equal to 500) for the first few months.

I have started scheduling regular orders for after the 21st, but the bell will not have officially been rung until you see my link under this forum as a sponsor.
