    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello!


ALRIGHT PRICE BREAK!! Since some of you think it is pricey. No problem.


100 large with 25% overcount assorted whites, including White Seductress (pure whites) Mask Face and Zebra for $20 shipped anywhere 48 states.

I am different from other suppliers because I readily dispense information on the rearing process. I raise my silkworms on leaves and find them to be healthier than using chows. They do not stink (due to chow) and they are shipped with leaves in a large container instead of a deli cup. They have food to eat along the way and the leaves do not get moldy. They will get to your place bigger than when they were shipped. Chow has the risk of letting out too much humidity and can potentially kill off your silks during delivery.

Add bag of leaves for $1. Leaves store in the fridge for 5-7 days.

I keep the shipping costs down for my customers because I use leaves, not chow. One half pound of chow can bump the shipping cost by $4+ to California! With leaves, there is no waste of food either because the silkworms pick them clean! Instead of raising feeders, they become like pets to my customers!! Great introduction to silkworm for people who have never raised them before! See my fan page for testimonials!

if i was to order worms, how big would they be *what is large sized??* and if i ordered your bag of leaves (and then after a matter of days the leaves die off) and they are no good, what leaves can i feed the worms? or what food to keep my worms alive? could i be able to breed them if there a mixes of breeds?
 
hi Heather,

The large size in general, classified by mulberry and coastal are one inch and larger. Typically, they come in 1.5 inches.. and at 2 inches they are jumbos.

They eat only mulberry leaves. However, because you are feeding off the silkworms, the bag of leaves will be enough to last you just about 5 days. I never had an issue with customer running out of leaves, but one customer said he had leaves left over after he fed off the silkworms.

The point of me providing leaves is so that you have the following advn:

1. lower shipping cost. Chows are heavy!
2. find a tree nearby!!
3. Sustain the silkworms for one week, grow and feed. If you didnt order food, the worms will die very quickly, and they really cannot be refrigerated. In fact, without food, they get dehydrated and shrink..

4. yes you can breed them. Although I never cross breed pure blacks with the whites. Other suppliers provide them in assorted whites. I am trying to separate them out. But my current batch IS assorted, meaning, they are a whole bunch of mask face, pure whites and zebras. :yesnod:

5. to get them to cocoon, they eat around the clock for the last few days.. if starved, they can cocoon, but their size is reduced and may not even emerge...

I hope that answers all your questions, so far?
You are in IA? I have customers with trees on their property.
 
if the leaves get dried up, you can actually soak them in water and reconstitute them.. the worms will eat them that way. Just mist them and put them away in a sealed bag, they can last more than a week that way.
 
Taking orders for silkworms this weekend.

I have smalls.. mediums, large and a few jumbo!

125 for $20 shipped. Sorted. Please send me a note on paypal for preference.

If I can't fit them in a regular container I will throw in the cocooning kit for free.. and I have some spent live silkmoths FREE as a special treat.. first come first gets them! Thanks!! (depending on availability)
