I got some free hornworms from dubiaroaches.com and I was really happy about it and went to give bossk (my bearded dragon) one and he refused but ate the roaches and a few superworms, has anybody else have this problem ?

Definitely odd, I haven't ever met a dragon that didn't like hornworms ha!

But when things are new, some dragons are more cautious. He might just not have been too interested if he was kinda full. Sometimes the hornworms move too slow too so it doesn't interest them.

But once they taste them, they typically get the image burned into their brains and go nuts the next time they see one :D

One of my dragons isn't that into hornworms either. She was already 5-6 years old when I got her and as far as I know she was never given greens so getting her to eat them is a work in progress. Sometimes just seeing something that's green will get her to close her eyes and not even take a look to see it's a nice plump juicy worm. The last one I gave her was in her tank for about 4 days before it disappeared.

How big? Since hornworms are mostly water they can be bigger than other types of worms and not pose any risk. If you still choose not to feed them I personally wouldn't let them die in the cup, that just seems wrong to me.

There bigger than recommend to feed, I just set them free into trees which birds might just eat them or other insects, some look like they were ready to turn in larvae

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
