What is the ideal setup and what do I need in order to raise silkworms?

The most critical period in their life is during their first week after they hatch. The most common cause of failure is due to improper temperature. We recommend using an incubator especially during their first week or two. Incubators are available (at bottom of this page) and we recommend using one (see bottom of page on how to heat without using an incubator). After about 2 weeks in an incubator – when they have outgrown the petri dish, you can then remove the worms from the peril dish and all you need is a large plastic, cardboard or glass container and a heat source to keep them warm. Then continue feeding either mulberry leaves or Silkworm Chow until they reach the desired size.
