Growing silkworms

I just got my silkies from mulberry farms today. They are a little to small to feed my chams now but I was wondering is there anyway to get them to grow faster? Right now they are about 1/2" and I need them to be about 1" . So any ideas? Thanks!

Just feeding them everyday and keeping them at room temperature like 75 degrees is all it takes. They grow really fast anyways

Ah ok thanks!

I keep mine a little warmer than room temp and just make sure there is always food and they grow really fast. They will double a few days if fed.

k thanks I'm gonna make sure they have constant food. Right now they are being kept at 85F

I keep mine at 80 with plenty of chow. They grow real quick.

80-85*F is a good temp. Keeping fresh chow 'on the plate' for them to eat helps. do not place new chow over old chow, especialy if it is still damp. Remember to remove the fras and old chow and keep your hands clean when touching them. If you can... avoid touching the worms you arn't removing from the group as feeders.
