I am thinking of doing VERY small scale silk farming for money. I want to raise 5 catterpillars; a pair to breed and 3 to sell. I want to have the smallest amount to garrentee that I will have a least one male and one female. I do not have any means to support a large population becasue they are literally eating machines. I can buy one small potted tree for them to feed on, but will the cost be worth the profit? How many do you think I could support with one tree and who can I sell the raw silk to?
