Silkworm Care

šŸ› Silkworm Care & Storage

To keep your silkworms healthy and thriving, store them at room temperature (70–75°F) in a well-ventilated container. An open-air setup works best.

Provide a consistent food source such as fresh mulberry leaves or high-quality silkworm chow. With proper care, silkworms can live and grow for several weeks.

🚫 Do not refrigerate — silkworms are extremely sensitive to cold and may not survive if chilled.
