Little Miss came home with two silk worms two weeks back. (Aaarghhh!)
As I don't like living things to suffer, we have been picking mulberry leaves in the street.
And guess who make sure that the worm (One died on my watch! I don't know why?) gets fed morning and night! Me! Not Little Miss!
Now I'm in constant lookout for mulberry leaves... I got some of the leaves near the school, but the owners had the branches cut off! I wish I could buy the leaves somewhere?
Another worm mouth to feed!
How long before it changes to a cocoon?
I had the same scenario recently. My son piped up - let's google alternative leave it can eat! It honestly made me thing of the resources we have available nowadays.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Beetroot / Cabbage / Lettuce leaves xx
Thanks!
DeleteWe have no silk worms for the first year in a long time. Yeah!
ReplyDeleteI have banned these creepy crawlies! We have killed too many of the poor things!
ReplyDeleteThe eldest had her fair share of silk worms, and I feel the youngest must also get the "experience"!😉
DeleteOhhh...my grandies just love those little worms...not so much their parents :-P
