They make a good staple. They are highly digestible, loaded with calcium, and taste great (hehehe... like marshmallows filled with squishy fruity juicy stuff ). The main concern with breeding them is that they have specialized dietary requirements. They eat one thing only and that is mulberry leaves. This can prove to be difficult to attain. Some places sell mulberry leaf paste but it is a bit pricey if you are looking to save money by breeding. I cannot answer on how easy they are too breed as I have never bred them.
