So sorry to hear of your loss. I have been force feeding mine for over a month now. I have had him to the Vet 2x;s etc. Do you know what was the cause of his death was?

Thanks for the help I will try again, the humidity is at 50% right now should it be higher? I am feeding 3 to 4 times a day, is that ok?

Sandra, I see you are in BC Canada! Are you near Baniff or Jasper? I love it there, it is the most beautiful place I have ever been.

chow, I do not have a tree for leaves. It doesnt seem too wet, dries out pretty quickly. I only touch a wooden stick and wash my hands before I do that. I use the same stick without washing it, could it be that?

I have read all the prior information on silkworms. I have tried to hatch 2 batches of appx. 10 eggs each time. The first batch did OK until about 2 weeks then they all died off slowly. I then found they may not have been warm enough so now have had this batch at a higher temp. 75 to 85 and...

Thanks for the help, thats kinda what i did last time but it is a lot more water then the 2 others have told me or mentioned in other threads.

I lost my last batch of eggs due to too much water i think. Some had told me they use 3 32oz vermiculite to 1 cup of water. I just mixed this and it seems very dry? (but again i used too much last time) I just read another thread for Veiled cham and it was the same with less water? 3/4 cup...

There are 2 large ficus trees on the front porch. The girl is in a large cage on the back porch. The front tree he stays on gets about 4 hrs of direct sunlight all week. It appears the back tree has gotten large and is blocking most of the direct sun except for maybe 2 hrs or so late in the...

No cage, just loose on the porch which is screen enclosure. Do they need the Direct sun to get the UVB or just the Light?
