silk worm chow

jwatts Jul 02, 2003 08:57 PM

Hi, does anyone know how to make silkworm chow or anything of the sort? I want to raise silk worms year round and mulberry leaves aren't around year round, I don't want to pay mulberry farms prices for the chow.

He doesn't give out the ingredients so it's either get leaves or buy from him. Kind of like trade secret..

I dont the ingredients, but you could visit a reptile show and ask one of the breeders thatn sell silkworms what they feed their selk worms when mulberry leaves aren't around.
