Silkworm egg help

[hornet]

I have heaps of silkworm eggs from the last lot i had. I have put them in the fridge for a few months as per care sheets but now i cant get them to hatch. Anyone here done it? How did you manage?

I had silk worm eggs but i never put them in the fridge. You may have slowed down there growth in the fridge. I just left eggs and they slowly got Yellower and then they just came out, just be patient and they should finally hatch.

Goodluck

did you need to give the eggs humidity?

Sorry for the bump, but have they hatched yet?
In the past I had my eggs out in the garage in very dry conditions, and they hatched with no problems. Didn't chill them either.

Chilling them in the fridge stops they're growth, so that you can wait for some fresh Mulberry leaves to sprout to feed them.

just checked, there are a few young silkworms out now eating the mulberry leaf

I don't about Silkworms but with flies the hatch rate reduces when you leave them in the fridge for a while
