Easy Ways to Feed Silkworm Pupae
Some animals may need time to become accustomed to the taste and texture of dried silkworm pupae. If your animal is hesitant to eat them whole, try crushing or grinding the pupae into a powder and adding it to their normal food. You can also soak them in warm water for approximately 20–30 minutes to rehydrate them and make them easier to eat.
For koi and other fish keepers, silkworm pupae can also be used as a nutritional treat. The manufacturer specifically notes their use for koi carp and their potential role in supporting growth and color enhancement.
