These are not genetically altered in any way. The artificial diet uses a special dye to change the colour of the silkworm. It should only be fed to silkworms from the 2nd day of the 5th and final instar. If your silkworms are fed on leaves, you may smear the chow on the leaves for them to consume. The silkworm’s cocoon colour will also be the same colour as the food it is fed!
These silkworms are not recommended as insect feeders and colour intensity does vary depending on amount and frequency of feedings.
Please follow the chow instructions as attached to your order confirmation email and adjust the quantity to 50g of chow rather than 200g.
