Silkworm foods

Beardie_Matt Jan 24, 2004 04:32 PM

I know that silkies can be fed mulberry leaves, but what are some other foods that I can feed them besides the chow at Mulberryfarms? And could somebody please post a pic of mulberry leaves, I may have one that I am bonsaiing but I'm not sure.
Thanks a bunch,
Matt

Everything I've read says they can only eat mulberry leaves but if in a pinch can eat a little lettuce.

Other places sell the chow too but I really couldn't tell you who. Try an internet search on silkworms and I bet you'll find someone else that sells the chow.

Do an internet search of mulberry leaves and I'm sure you can find a pic.

I kept mine alive for 3 days on lettuce until my chow arrived

Wow! You know as soon as I saw this post I thought "damn, why didn't I think about that when you were worried about your silkies?". Well I'm glad you thought of that and sorry I didn't !
