I kept silkworms asd a teenager in Spain. (why I was living in Spain as a teenager is another story... [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img])
Quiet. Fairly clean. Not smelly, or anything. Amazing to watch them grow, from the time they come out of the eggs (you can barely see them with your eyes) to 3 or 4 inch long mature adults. Mine coocoon, mated, layed eggs (all over!) and (the moth) inmediately died.
The eggs will come out and you will have more worms than you can shake a stick at! They are very very simple to keep. I read about it on the Mulberry Farms site. They have good documentation. I think the perfect setup is to start a small breeding colony and have some for yourself and for some of your friends... [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
They do eat a LOT. So, have plenty of Mulberry leaves or keep that extra food suplement in case you run out as a backup. When I was a youngster we had a huge tree right in the front of my house, so it made it easy to feed them.
