Powers New Member Jul 16, 2009 #1 I'm thinking about buying 200 small silkworms from Mulberry Farms. How much silkworm food will I need to raise 200?

ChrisnLisa Avid Member Jul 16, 2009 #2 One bag of dry food mix would be plenty to raise them to adult size.
Malicious New Member Jul 16, 2009 #3 It really depends on what size you want to raise them to. There is always more then 200 in that petri dish, and you will find they don't all grow at the same rate. To get the "200ct" of smalls all the way to caccoon, you will need 4-5 lbs of prepared chow. I buy the mix and cook it myself, it ends up being $16 for 4 lbs. -Jay
