Live Hornworms for Reptile and Amphibian Feeding in Cups with Hornworm Food for Continued Growth

$29.00

Live hornworms provide a feeder option for insectivorous and omnivorous reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Each cup contains the selected quantity and hornworm food, giving you a place to care for the larvae as they grow before feeding.

Hornworms grow quickly and may arrive smaller than expected, so allow time for growth if needed. Use them as part of a varied insect diet rather than as the only feeder. Monitor the food in the cup and add more hornworm food when necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in each hornworm cup?

Each hornworm cup contains the quantity you select and hornworm food. Choose a 12-count or 24-count quantity, then monitor the food supply as the larvae grow.

Can I feed these hornworms immediately?

These hornworms may need time to grow before feeding because they are typically sent smaller to support their condition on arrival. Medium 12-count cups are intended to be fed promptly once the worms are an appropriate size for your pet.

How should I position the hornworm cup?

Position the hornworm cup with the lid facing down and keep airflow available around the lid. The worms can climb the screen toward the food while waste drops onto the lid for cleaning.

Can hornworms be my pet's only feeder insect?

Hornworms should be part of a varied insect diet rather than your pet's only feeder. Rotate them with other suitable insects according to your animal's dietary needs.
