Hi, ok so this is probably an unusual request. I'm looking to buy any newly-cocooned silkworms who have started that process around the 19th of January or so. The reason is because I bought a small group of silkworms of which most members were shedding and cocooning at the same time, except one. One of them was a full instar behind the others. Now that it has also cocooned, I want to get possible mates for it. I'm in the Montreal area. Thank you for your consideration!
What I do is start with at least 250-500 eggs (I do have 10 insectivores) and a couple of pounds of unprepared chow mix. They can be slow to get growing to a decent feeder size, but then whoosh! You’ll end up with lots and lots of pretty moths with only one thing on their cute little minds. Once the eggs darken, I put them in the warmest part of the fridge for 2-3 month minimum before hatching out what I need/want.
