Expect waste to build up, this is normal however to not over clean. Once a week is fine. Feeding Newly Hatched Silkworm Eggs Coastal Silkworms Method Allow all eggs to hatch before you offer any silkworm chow (24hrs after you see the first ones hatch no longer than 48hrs). Once all eggs hatched, (if you look underneath the Petri dish, you see mostly white egg casings) grate a thin layer of mulberry chow over top the silkworm larvae. Grate the food right on top of the worms you will not kill them. Feeding Technique Allow the silkworms to crawl up on top of the food. 24hrs later transfer the silkworms, food, and all into the bottom of a silkworm keeper or similar open plastic tub (just bang the Petri dish upside down to empty it out.). Continue to feed daily; it's important that you allow the food from the day before to dry out before you feed again. You will see a rapid growth rate, after a week follow the silkworm care article. For best results DO NOT USE AN INCUBATOR AFTER THE EGGS HATCH IF AT ALL, COMMON ISSUES WITH HEAT SPIKES WILL KILL THE EGGS/SILKWORMS . Step 1 Using a microwave safe container, add one packet (0.50lbs.) of powdered silkworm food into a microsafe container. Step 2 Pour 3 cups of hot water into powder, mix with an electric hand mixer until no powder is visible. (You can use slightly less water for a thicker mix resulting in firmer food.) Mixed correctly, the food will be thick prior to cooking this is normal. Step 3 Cover container with lid (or plastic wrap), heat on high for 6 minutes in a microwave. Food will cook best with turntable on while cooking using a 1200W microwave. You will need to extend cooking time without turntable and lower wattage by 1 minute, do not exceed 7 minutes total. Food must boil to set the agar in the next step. Step 4 Caution: Cooked food is hot, releasing steam once cover is removed that can burn your face, skin, and hands. Remove from microwave, using protection. Mix thoroughly with electric hand mixer, food becomes smooth and creamy. Replace cover, and let cool on counter top until firm. Immediately place in the refrigerator after cool to touch, keep covered to prevent food from drying out. Food will firm and set to a soft cheese; this can then be grated over top your silkworms. ## Features - 💧 Easy Just Add Water Mix, cooking instructions on label. Mixes thick, cooks and sets firm.
