Specifically, you remove the pupa at the 5th day since it's cocoon has formed. This is when the pupae is most complete and FRESHEST. They can store in the fridge in 5 degree centigrade or about 40 degrees F for up to 30 days... I know this because this info came straight from the pupae...

Hello everyone and hello Silkworm, I think you are Chinese, based on your syntax, just like me. LOL. I raise silkworms on leaves too and they are very easy to spot thru a semi trained eye. Most of local customers that live by me do not recognize them. You are on the right track with the...

they kinda bite and do cannibalize.. vicious little things. LOL. Silks are tame, not lame, but nice and tame :)

what would be that space on a 4 mos old? I heard they do make exceptions on silkworms due to their soft bodiness. ;p

I breed horn worms as well. I put in 4 inches of top soil and throw them some chow..every night, they disappear into the dirt. you can try that too. As for silkworms, it is really easier to just buy them by the bulk and a bag of leaves.. you can't kill silkworms with leaves, but you can...

why do you find them disgusting??? Probably because they came with chow and smell rancid?? If you raise them on leaves, they are adorable, they were my very first pets!!

I think he can use bigger worms! :D

why he doesnt want you to breed silkworms? they are much easier than hornworms. Besides, they are kept as pets for school kids. Great experience for both of you. A local customer gave me 10 horns to breed, and I feed them tomato plants from my garden. They didnt like the melon plants, I think...

what is the preferred diet? I feed mine real tomatoes and tomatoe plants, everyone said they are toxic, are they really?

how come only two? dont they lay quite a few?

I am a breeder, do my own cycles of silkworms from egg to egg. ONe time when I needed some supplies I ordered some live worms from one of the big two. THey arrived 25% dead. The rest kept dying.. I shipped some to customers and they died on transit in just 3-4 days (this usually does not happen...

btw, the zebras are marketed to be hardier. Yes that is true, I spoke with their overseas supplier. They are a bivoltine strain which spins smaller cocoons, poorer quality silk, but are stronger. They tolerate heat and humidity well. THey are specifically bred. The white ones are bred...

The silkworms need corners to anchor themselves. So ppl use paper rolls. They will just look up, swirl their heads and spin silk.. they will eventually find their way to a corner or edge, but sometimes some would need help. But if it is already spinning a good amount, just let it be.. because if...

hello, the nutrients are all the same in silkworms. The zebra and the blacks (tiger silks) are just a genetic coding that probably happened as mutation long time ago and were isolated by the scientists and now commercially bred to be offered as varieties. The ones that you buy from the...

I have some zebras and green cocooning silkworms for sale. 100 with over count shipped USPS for $20 200+ shipped USPS for $30 please send email to [email protected] thanks

this is a great experiment.. but I would be concerned about air though.. can they put a small feeder mouse or a live chick for one night like that? Miners used canaries and astronauts used monkeys... either one is kind of cruel but I do think this warrants to be done.. or use some...

oops sorry I went off topic. Yes I knew of someone who did the same thing you did, except that he sold off those non feeding baby snakes to unsuspecting customers. This guy is an MD, like he really needed the $ :mad: It's just kind of odd to me that they refuse to eat even though their...

It's called the food chain. However, I probably won't want to raise any animals that would require eating chicks, rabbits or rats. The latter 3 will end up becoming my pets. I can deal with feeding insects to insectivores though.. I loved getting crix and grubs from my yard to feed my suggies...

Is anyone attending or vending there?? I'd like to go OR share a table..
