Hornworms

I have a few hornworms and they are running low on chow. I have silkworm chow. Can they survive or live on that? Or do I feed them dandelion greens?

I'm not sure what else they can eat. You can cool them down a bit and they will go into stasis of sorts. I do one day in the wine fridge then one day out of it which seems to work. I just got a new order in yesterday and ordered a spare cup of chow so I can transfer the last of them to the new cup once the chow cups run dry. You can probably have some spare chow shipped in from Great Lakes Hornworm within a couple of days if need be. If they are full size though, you can try cooling them as I mentioned.

Hi, I had a similar problem once, and I just put a big leaf of collard green in their container.
Of course I only had a few of them and they ate the leaf in one night!
But it seemed to do good with them.

Interesting. I haven't tried that yet. Good to know!

The sellers usually recommend giving them some shredded carrot if you run out of chow. But this is on a temporary basis. They won't be able to live off it. I've tried collards too and it worked, but plan to feed them off in a day or two.

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.
