When the silkworms have just hatched from eggs, you need to be especially careful with them, feed them with relatively tender mulberry leaves, and use a very soft brush to move them when changing mulberry leaves, and pay attention to the strength; sometimes the mulberry leaves are too dry, and if you are not careful, the silkworms will be left on the mulberry leaves that are about to be discarded during the process of changing mulberry leaves. It is a little difficult to raise them when they are young, but it will be easier to handle when they grow up.

When it is about to make a cocoon, just take some wheat straw and tie it into the shape of branches.

After the moths break out of their cocoons, place them together in a box. They will mate together and lay eggs. Sometimes, because there are few silkworms, some moths will be left alone when they break out of their cocoons, but don't worry, as long as you have a pair of silkworms, I believe it will be enough for you to raise.

Mulberry leaves should be fresh. You can also collect them in a plastic bag each time, use a few leaves every day, and sprinkle some water on the rest and put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. The collected leaves will have some dust, so you can wash them and dry them. You must dry them, otherwise the young or adult silkworms will have diarrhea after eating them, and they may even die.
