Well went home today at lunch time to go to the post office and pick up my silkworm order. I ordered large cause on their description of large it said 1 inch. So im expecting a inch long lil white catepillar deal like in the pictures. What i go was wayyyy bigger than i thought theyd be lol. Least they arent to big for Pita to eat.

Now on to Pita's reaction to her first silkworm. i plopped it down onto the newspaper in Pitas cage. pita started the death glare, first at the silkworm, then turned a questioning worried stare to me as if to say "WTF is that thing", then death stare at the silkworm again. after about 3 minutes of that. Pita grabbed the silkworm and spit it back out "Oh no" i say "she doesnt like them"
Well that was incorrect apparently all that was needed was a reposition on the way Pita picked up the silkworm cause 2 seconds later "nom nom nom nom" lol
