Silkworm Cocoon

[ColorCham427]

Hey guys,

Is it OK if I place all of the cocoons in one container? I have ALOT in some toliet paper rolls and pieces of rolled paper... I just would hate if I didn't know if some have emerged and died because of the other cocoons, with all that silk in the way of there escape...

thanks in advance,

-Brian

Yes, once they spin up (takes about a day), cocoons can be safely removed from the location they are attached to and placed in a container. Make sure the cocoons are not piled up on top of each other excessively in the container they are being transferred to.

Note: The middle ones will most probably die because they can't get out especially if you are using paper towel tubes. So, transfer is a must.
