Care instructions
Care instructions
Silkworm Care:
When the silkworms arrive, carefully pull the mesh out of the box and lay it flat on the bottom of a larger, open air container. Move the worms and food into the new container. The food that comes with the worms lasts about 2 days (through shipping). If you don't plan to feed them to your reptile within the first days of receiving, please order extra food or feed them mulberry leaves if you have access.
Care Tips
Keep silks in an open-air container.
Do not refrigerate your silkworms – they will die if too cold.
Keep silkworms out of direct sunlight and maintain them at room temperature.
Keep extra chow in the refrigerator and grate a small amount over the silkworms daily. They will climb to the top as they eat, leaving their poop below.
If you run out of food, you may shred a carrot and feed to your silkworms. The silkworms might turn to an orange color, but they are still very nutritious.
