A perfect way to learn about insect lifecycle is to experience it yourself.
This kit is a lightweight plastic that has12 pockets with perfect fitting for cut tissue rolls where the silkworms can anchor in the middle and wrap itself in silk. The flip side double up as housing for the silkworms during the rearing stage. Comes with minimum of 12 (up to 50, some times more!) live silkworms or eggs and enough food to grow your silkworms to cocoon. Simply place cut tissue rolls into the pocket and drop each spinning silkworm inside and close off the lid. The mesh works to screen out frass; simply lift and dump out the poop and left over food. It is THAT easy. You may also choose to rear the silkworms in a separate container and simply use the kit to cocoon. This kit is re-usable. The mesh comes in a variety of colors. Red, purple, green, orange, pink. Please indicate color during checkout. Subject to availability and variety of silkworms. Please download a brochure for detail instructions.

PRICE CHANGE-You get a full dry pack of chow that cooks up to 2 lbs of wet chow and a bonus ventilated rearing cup for delicate hatching stage. More eggs and more live worms (if available). This is enough to raise 50 silkworms to cocoon.
This is truly the best value out there in the market. Why? because you don't raise silkworms as cultures. You raise them as pets. You don't need a fancy box, and you don't need cups and lids and medical tweezers, You just need dedication, and love for all things living. The piping bag of chow should be heated in the microwave for 10 sec to sanitize the tip. It pretty much cools as it pipes. Make sure the old chow is dried out first before you feed new food. Keep them at ambient temperature (78 degree is best.. If kept too cold, the babies will not eat), there will be no reason for them not to get to cocoon stage. No need to grate and no need to touch chow. They will just eat and grow and grow! Keep them closed for the first two weeks and keep them open for the latest two weeks. You can put a layer of wax paper over the chow to keep them moist. It's really all that easy! Just remember, try to keep them on the warm side to thrive!
