I got some hornworms in a cup at a show and now they are out of their food. I have about 8 left and I do NOT want to put them in the fridge.....my husband would KILL me.

Is there anything I can feed tem besides the special hornworm food? Like can I feed them Mustard greens? or dandelion greens and still have tem be safe for my dragons?

I don't know about other food sources except mulberry leaves, but you'll need to figure out something soon. Without food, hornworms use up their fat stores pretty quickly and become lethargic. They'll even refuse fresh food once they've starved past a certain point. (guess you can tell who has mistreated her hornworms before... :oops: )

If the fridge isn't an option, find another cool place - maybe by the air conditioning vent. Anything to slow down their metabolism.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
