Yay my silkworms came

tim5580 Oct 21, 2004 07:03 PM

I got my silkworms today. They sure are kind of tiny though. Hope my leo eats them, he hasn't eaten anything the past 2 days and I was gonna go for a poop test, but I don't have any poop. I noticed a blue dot on it's chest today. Id have took a picture but my camera batteries are dead.

It rubs the lotion on it's skin. It rubs the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again.

Constipated. I would try a 15 min. warm water soak followed by a 10 min. belly rub. You may have to repeat for a few days before it is, ummm...productive! Then have a nose plug handy. Oh and make sure you have some paper towel under him so it doesn't create a major mess. If it's not productive in 3 days take him to the vet.

Well all the silkworms are gone but one, so at least he ate something. I'll try soaking him tonight. The only problem is they are small so I have to fed him a bunch of them. If I can find some batteries I'll get a picture of that dot on his chest.
