I remember that they stop eating and start standing still in a weird position for a little bit, and excrete a weird green frass. Then they start trying to find a thing to spin on, which is when you move them to paper towel tubes or egg flats.

I know NOTHING about Breeding Silk Worm's, but it seem's like you should just feed them until they want to Stop eating, and then maybe they'll get ready to Cocoon?
