They have various options as far as quantity. They sell Silk Worm chow as well. Basically they just keep eating. If you run out of chow you can give Collard Greens or Kale (I have). Humidity will kill them, so you have to be careful of that. I would suggest getting a small quantity until you know that your pet will eat them just so you don’t waste your money and have a bunch of dead silk worms. Also you need to separate the smaller ones from the larger ones, if you have quantiities in the hundreds, so that the little guys are sure to get enough to eat and don’t suffocate underneath the big guys. I love Mulberry Farms - they sell many different types of feeders. You should also try the Horn Worms - but they get HUGE fast, so go easy on the quantity and ask them for a smaller size if necessary. I am sure that you can ask them for help in caring for the feeders. I hope this helps. Sincerely, NerdieMathGirl
