I love silkworms, they're quiet, not very messy, and my reptiles love them. They grow faster if they're kept warm and humid, so an incubator or heating pad helps, especially when they're tiny. I use the powdered food from Mulberry Farms, I think it's a lot easier than leaves. When I mix mine up, I pour it into a muffin pan while it's still hot. Then after it's cool I can wrap them individually, and it's easy to just grate or slice some for the worms. I've got a few cocoons right now that I'm hoping will hatch and the moths will mate. It would be great not to have to buy eggs anymore!
