How often do I clean the silkworm rearing tub?Updated 9 months ago
At least every other day you should remove the droppings and any dried out food from the rearing tub, this is best achieved by carefully removing the mesh (with the food and silkworms attached, you may have to use the forceps to make sure all the worms are on the mesh) and placing it on the upturned lid while
you remove the droppings.
To remove the droppings just use a small paintbrush or tissue. Then carefully replace the mesh in to the tub. If any silkworms have come away from the mesh just use the forceps or a small paintbrush to return them to the rearing tub.
