silkworms dying?
I am not sure but I think my silkworms are slowly dying....... Half of them are getting stiff and their head are pocking out. Even when I touch their heads, they still dont pull back their heads. Can anyone help me with this?

They do better in a cooler place from my experiences. Maybe thats a contributing factor.
Cheers, Ryan

Check the humididy.. if you leave them 24/7 with food at 80 degrees, your container needs to have lots of holes because if too much humidity stays in there, they're gonna die.
