Silkworm eggs are hatching real slow

[Cap10Squirty]

So I received 500 "zebra" silkworm eggs last week Wednesday and yesterday 2 little silkworms hatched out, and this morning another 2...I read somewhere that they will hatch within 24 hours of each other....so does anyone else have any advice on what to do? Keep playing the waiting game? I've kept the eggs in a room that is kept at 80 F.

Well I spoke too soon. Another 6 have hatched for a total of 10. I'm guessing they'll start exploding here in the next few hours!

Yeah they are starting to hatch in larger numbers now...23 so far. These first few, assuming I can keep them alive to adulthood, will be breeder stock.
