Poop or Oreo Cookies?

[MeruJack]

Okay experienced feeder breeders, I just received a shipment of 200 large silkworms. There are eight containers with 25 silkworms in each one. In each container there is a lot of brown stuff that looks like Oreo cookie crumbs. Please don't tell me that those cookie crumbs are actually silkworm poop! Do they always poop that much? How do you keep their enclosure clean with that much poop? Please post any tips you may have regarding housing and breeding silkworms to serve as Chameleon food. I would especially like to know how you handle all that poop! Thanks!

Its poop. All they do is eat and poop. And they poop a lot.

2 sections of paper towel in bottom of their living space. Feed on one side then feed on the other, most worms will migrate toward the side with food, leaving the poopy paper towel accessible for quick change
Hope that helps!
