CATDOLL : CATDOLL:How to raise silkworms?

When raising silkworms, you need to sprinkle a little water on the eggs when the temperature is suitable to help them hatch faster. After they hatch, you need to place the silkworms on fresh young mulberry leaves and replace the leaves every day.

The silkworms are very small and dark in color. When feeding them mulberry leaves, it is best to pick the softest and most tender mulberry leaves. It is also best to cut a small section with scissors to facilitate the feeding of the silkworms. After the fourth molting, the silkworms' bodies are relatively transparent and ready to start spinning silk. After about 5 days, the cocoons can be harvested.

Precautions for raising silkworms

If it is difficult to get mulberry leaves, you can go out and pick them, pack them up, sprinkle some water on them and put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. This way, the silkworms can eat mulberry leaves every day. If there are really no leaves, you can also feed them some vegetable leaves, such as camphor leaves or lettuce leaves.

Keep the mulberry leaves fresh, feed them the right amount each time, and keep the rest in the refrigerator. The mulberry leaves must be clean, otherwise the silkworms will get sick if they eat them. If the mulberry leaves turn black and moldy, do not feed them to the silkworms. Try to wash your hands when feeding mulberry leaves to the silkworms to prevent bacteria from infecting the silkworms. Change the mulberry leaves gently, you can use feathers or very soft brushes to move them, and be diligent in cleaning the box.
