Best Live Silkworms in Canada 2026 — Top 6 Feeder Options (Bombyx mori)

The Silkworm Store earns a best-in-class spot for consistently delivering medium-size, well-graded larvae with low mortality and standardized packaging that makes feeding schedules predictable for insectivores; its technical advantage is tight size sorting and a reliable supply chain that reduces waste. Compared with the other vendors on this list it strikes a strong balance between quality and price—more premium than some budget options but more predictable and ready-to-feed than bulk-focused sellers, which can reduce keeper costs over time by lowering losses and labor.

Canada Ant Colony is positioned as a cost-effective, locally focused supplier that offers fresh silkworms optimized for hobbyists and small-scale breeders; its financial advantage is lower shipping times and lower transit mortality for Canadian customers, which often makes it cheaper in total landed cost than U.S. or international options. Compared with competitors here it trades the absolute finest grading for value and localization—ideal when rapid delivery and reduced mortality matter more than premium size uniformity.

Recorp Inc.'s small-size silkworms are tailored for delicate feeders and species that require smaller prey, giving it a technical niche advantage in particle-size control and starter cultures that many bulk suppliers don’t offer. Financially it can save keepers money by reducing waste from oversized feeders, and compared with larger-size vendors on this list it fills the gap for juvenile reptiles, amphibians and exotic insectivores needing reliably small prey.

Mulberry Farms is regarded as best-in-class for live silkworm feeders because their stock is raised on a mulberry-focused diet and tightly graded for consistent size and nutritional value, which benefits insectivores that need predictable protein and fat content. Their premium price and faster transit options reflect specialized husbandry and freshness advantages compared with bulk-focused sellers like Rainbow Mealworms and broader-channel suppliers such as Josh's Frogs.

Rainbow Mealworms' Large live silkworms offer a cost-effective, high-volume option for hobbyists and breeders who need larger feeders at competitive prices, making them financially attractive for frequent or bulk purchasers. They trade the premium feeding regimen and tight grading of Mulberry Farms for economies of scale, and while they may not match Josh's Frogs' nationwide logistics or customer guarantees, they stand out for affordability and size-per-unit value.
