RE: Silkworms as pets
I raised silkworms once, but, they were actually as a feeder insect. They are very high in protein, the calcium:phosphorus ratio is pretty closed to balanced, and they are fairly low in fat. They are cute little buggers though, and the moths are actually cute too. And they contain an enzyme called serrapeptase, which has all kinds of beneficial qualities. There are a number of pharmaceutical companies trying to create synthetic versions of it.
