How often should I feed the silkworms?Updated 9 months ago

Once your silkworms have started hatching you will need to feed them.  When they first hatch they are tiny and will not eat much to begin with, but will turn into eating machines when they grow bigger!

You will need to take just enough food out of the fridge for each feed (to begin with a few bits the size of a pinhead will be plenty). Be careful not to use too much during the early stages as you may begin to run out later on.

Place the food onto the mesh, try and add it as close to them as possible.  Feed them enough so they eat most of it before it dries out.  When they have eaten all their food or it has dried out you simply need to feed them again, this can be more than once a day.

DO NOT PUT WATER IN WITH YOUR SILKWORMS THEY WILL GET THIS FROM THEIR FOOD.
