Silk Worm Raising

[nick barta]

I have looked at the threads on raising silkworms, and it appears to be a feeder insect that you must provide new "Chow" or mulberry leaves every day. Would that be accurate? I have trips that put me out of the home for 2days, and would not want to raise silks if they cannot be left unattended for 2 days at a time.

well either put in a big portion, or wait, they dont need food every day.

not everyday..
just when the chow start to smell funky, you need to replace it.
Silkies can grovel their food quite fast too (not as fast as hornworms tho).
