Anyone else have silkworms?

I got silkworms just over a week ago. Kids aren't as fussed with them as I thought they would be. I think they are cute and different.

Most excited this morning to discover one is cocooning and just got home a little while ago to another cocoon being made.

Interesting little creatures they are

Where do you get them and how do you keep, feed them?

Sounds interesting

I bought mine from a guy who lives an hour away. You feed them mulberry leaves only. We watched a video the other day on silk production. It was in Cambodia. Very interesting.

I loved getting these every season when I was in primary school feeling rather nostalgic now
