Does anyone know what to feed hornworms? I only have one juvie dragon, and my local pet store only sells them in cups with food if you buy 20 of them, which I did once and ended up with about 15 GIANT dead hornworms, so I decided to buy 6 of them for my girl yesterday, thinking she would eat them before they starved, I'm not worried about them getting big because she bites her food off in pieces and chews them bite by bite, but they are already starting to turn black (which is what happened when they ran out of food before and eventually died) so I know if I don't give them something to eat soon it's going to be a waist, and at $1.50 a worm, I'd like to try to save them. They are only about an inch and a half right now and I don't want to kill them but can't find info anywhere on what to feed them. Everything I'm finding is people saying they came with food and the food mine came with before looked like a brownish/tan paste that was stuck to the top of the container and smelled AWFUL, I just don't know what it is. I called the store I got them and they don't even know what it is, just said they come in like that.
Helpppppp! lol
