Baby silky food

[Ramrod]

What are the most prefered methods of providing food (chow not leaves) to freshly hatched silkworms? They are so tiny i'm wondering if they require anything special? All tips appreciated.

Just smaller pieces of chow...like the size of a pencil eraser.

Ok, just didn't want to crush the little guys. Thought maybe it should be grated or something? Thanks

I push mine thru a 5ml syringe with no needle and never had a problem. Photo is of first feed. They all find it and I refeed every 2 days
