Where to Buy Silkworms Online: 2026 Buyer's Guide
Where to Buy Silkworms Online
Most local pet stores do not carry live silkworms. They are perishable, require mulberry-based food, and have a shorter shelf life than crickets or mealworms — making them impractical for retail shelf stock. Online ordering from a dedicated feeder insect breeder is the practical and most reliable way to get fresh, healthy silkworms delivered to your door.
What to Look for in a Silkworm Supplier
- Mulberry-based diet: Quality silkworms are raised on mulberry leaves or commercial mulberry chow — not cheap substitutes. This directly affects the nutritional value and serrapeptase content of the worms you receive.
- Live arrival guarantee: Silkworms are delicate. Any reputable supplier should guarantee live arrival and replace or refund dead-on-arrival worms without hassle.
- Size grading: You should be able to order specific sizes — small, medium, or large — and receive consistent sizing.
- Insulated shipping: Silkworms are temperature-sensitive. Quality suppliers use insulated packaging with seasonal heat/cold packs.
- Dedicated feeder breeder: A company that specializes in feeder insects — not a general pet supply retailer with feeders as a side product — typically delivers better quality, fresher stock, and more knowledgeable customer service.
