What temperature should the silkworms be kept at?Updated 9 months ago

Generally speaking your silkworms will develop faster in warmer conditions and it is important to keep the temperature fairly constant.

The eggs normally take between 7-21 days to hatch and should be kept somewhere warm, but out of direct sunlight, at around 24 degrees Celsius, or as close to this as possible.

If the room temperature drops overnight, move the eggs to somewhere warmer.

In the early stages of development leave the lid fully on for humidity. Once the worms reach 2-3 cm you should only loosely place the lid on top to allow air to circulate.
