How to clean silk worm bowl?

[Lindasjackson]

I have a bunch of silk worms someone gave me and there were lots of teeny ones in the container to and now I got them some more chow that I made up and need to clean all the poo and stuff out of the bowl I keep them in. I just picked out all the worms but a bunch were stuck to a webbing that included worms and poop and a plastic webbed thing. I couldn’t do much with that so I left it all stuck together for fear of hurting the worms and after cleaning the bowl with just very hot water and drying it well, I put them back in and added more silkworm chow I made up. Is that ok?

Can’t tell you if right or wrong, but is pretty much what I do when they’re tiny. I use an animal disinfectant to clean and then rinse or just grab another clean container.

I was afraid to use disinfectant because I was afraid it would kill the worms

I use one that Mori feeders told me about. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EPERMKS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I make sure to rinse after.

Wow, it’s odorless and leaves no residue! I would make sure to rinse as well. I wonder if you can use this to clean a chameleons cage as well?

I’ve used it to clean my beardie’s and one of my leopard gecko’s tanks.

Would you use it on a chams cage?

If I took the chameleon out first, yes.
