The price is 100,000 pieces - 150 gr. for 1000 cocoons. In other cases, the price is negotiable!
It is best to start the breeding of Dendrobena Veneta worms with cocoons, this is due to the fact that cocoons are easier to bear during delivery than the worms themselves, and unlike
worms they are not subject to the stresses associated with transportation. Worms subjected to stress during long-term transportation lose not only their weight, but also their desire to feed and multiply, which leads to the death of part of the worm.

Another significant plus in the direction of breeding Dendrobena with cocoons is that the worms that hatched from the cocoons better adapt to "new conditions" - the substrate and
fodder, considering them relatives. Unfortunately, worms do not tolerate a sudden change of substrate very well, and we are not talking about changing peat for manure or vice versa, but about the composition of the substrate, because the composition of peat, even top, even bottom, even manure can differ depending on the region - therefore, breeding should be started correctly and necessarily with cocoons...
The dendroben population obtained from cocoons grows very quickly and literally becomes sexually mature within 4 months.
