Silkworm Cocoon's not hatching?

[kris_hole]

So i've had these fella's for little over a week, changed container a couple of times but they've been in this casket for the past 3 days now and they just refuse to hatch? Aren't they supposed to change into moths after 16 hours?



I have no idea how to reproduce this, i can't reproduce it again myself, but somehow just these ones refuse to change that all came from the same batch. I have not had it happen again since.

The cocoons were probably killed. If you right-click a cocoon, a flower menu with "Kill" pops up. If nothing pops up, then the cocoons are dead and they will not hatch.

Didn't know that was a thing, yeah you're right someone killed them. Thanks for the info
