Hornworms

[KarrieRee]

How many hornworms should be fed? I was trying to get silk but no one carries around here in my area - they said hornworms were similar--

hello!
I only feed hornworms to my beardie as a treat, so like one or two every so often, but I don't know what the maximum is.

Hornworms and silkworms are very different, one has a lot of good stuff in it and can be fed daily...while the other is one that can be fed occasionally as a treat and mostly is just water.

When I get hornworms I usually just feed them every other day or every two days and usually only 4-6 as I dont want to cause diarrhea.
