i would also like more information on raising silkworms, its good the moths dont fly either, an easy way to keep on breeding them for your lizard it sounds like.
how many people have there own mulberry trees, and is there any other food they will eat?

thanks diane

I raise silkworms. It is actually pretty easy, I love it! Right now I am feeding them the powdered chow, that is the only thing I need to buy, but I am planning on getting amulberry tree. I belive the only thing they will eat is mulberry leaves and the silworm chow.

thanks reptile chick,
where did you get your information on keeping silkworms?,
i would just let to know everything i can and get ready before i start raising them.
do they need fresh chow every day? if you have them in the fridge it stops them growing right? can keep eggs in the fridge till you need them?
thanks again
