I have silkworms. I used kitchen paper to seal the box, that way if a worm decided to start its cocoon on the top I could open the "lid" without harming the structure. A worm accidentally made it oustide the box looking for a place to make its cocoon and fell. I found it today in the state where they look chubby because they are ready to metamorphose, way past the moment of making the cocoon (I don't think it would have the energy now to make one), but the floor was covered in silk, there was a weird dark liquid a meter on the side and the worm is now covered in silk but in a messy way. When I found it, it was moving a lot, didn't seen lethargic, but couldn't walk because of the silk. Also I have no idea if my cat has tried to "play" with it while I wasn't there and harmed it. Should I try to remove the silk or it will cause it irreversible stress adding it to the actual stress of metamorphosis and make him die? I separated it in a different box so it won't have any other worms stepping on it. But should I intervene or let it work its way? I'm worried silk will strangle it, also worried my intervention will cause irreversible harm.

I was planning to get silkworms but I happened to take an allergy test and I got an M 7 and F 7 for mulberry. For context I get hives when I touch grass and that had scores of 3:3. I'm beyond disappointed that I can't raise these squishy friends.

Also apparently I'm 5:5 allergic to cats but we're ignoring that since my Kitta Kii is 6 years old and I'm not giving her up.
