Silkworm Questions (incase it was missed)

LindsayMarie Mar 24, 2004 08:14 PM

Are most the silkworm breeders in california? Is it possible to raise these for feeders for ones own collection (not commercially) say in New York? And do so economically? Is there a recipe out now for the silkworm chow or is it still hush hush and only a select few know?

I currently feed silkworms occasionally to my dragons but because of their prices, plus that of the chow and then shipping it just isnt economical to do so every week, or even month. That is what my roach colonies are for Any info you can give that might help me establish a small little colony of silks would be great! My dragons would definitely appreciate it. Take care, Lindsay

Well you can buy the chow in huge bags that will last you a year or 2.Also you could probably raise a mulberry tree inside your house.

I would be interested in finding out where you can buy the chow in large quantities. I am also looking for ways to raise silkies economically. Thanks!

There are a couple new silkie sites out there with very reasonable prices. I'm not sure if it's okay to list them here or not, but I'm sure someone will tell me.
