    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

What ever happened to Nick and Joe at Silkworm Farm? I can't seem to find their website! Are they gone?! :bolt01: If you know how to contact them please let me know.

Thank you,
David Gaithe
 
Unfortunately they are out of business for reasons they do not disclose. I dont know how cheap they were selling.. but probably Brian drove them out of business by not selling them chow or they got fed up with the silkworm raisinng.. the strains they have here sold by those two suppliers are so weak!

If you get them there live, thats only because the season was ambient. I dont know why they dont import hardy strains...

sorry I thought you mean wholesalesilkworms.com, that is out of business too.

There are only 4. The two giants, georgia bugs, (which tried to source from China but was unsuccessful) and silkwormshop which is ridiculously expensive. Wormman is working out the kinks with MF for supplies. And no one else left.

really, none of these smaller breeder exist anymore.. the silkworms are just too difficult to do in big production. there is price fixing and the only supplier where they get their stuff from don't leave them any room for profits.... GB is looking to get out.

Who else can you buy them from?
