Will the eggs definitley hatch?
Yes, if you follow our instructions. The hatch rate is usually about 95% (or higher), but do not be alarmed if you end up with significantly fewer worms than eggs because some of the worms get covered up by a thin invisible layer of silk that silkworms are constantly placing down. Also it is normal for some to die at the earliest stage after hatching (especially if they are overcrowded). If you want to maximize the number of worms you get from a given number of eggs – you should order eggs in bulk and place no more than 500 eggs into each petri dish (200 eggs per petri dish is ideal for maximum number of worms). If you place about 200 eggs per petri dish – you will end up with a much higher percentage of worms to eggs (up to 90% or more), but you must maintain warm temperatures. The fewer eggs per petri dish the higher percentage of worms to eggs you will end up with. The eggs will come glued down in a large petri dish in lots of 250 or 1000 eggs.
