Hornworms
(24 Per Cup)

• Hornworms (Manduca sexta) are a great source of additional moisture for an insectivore whose diet consists mainly of crickets, mealworms and superworms. 
• 12ct. cups of hornworms are shipped with just enough food to grow to their adult size which is the same mass as approximately 20 crickets. Hornworms in a 12 ct. cup should reach their adult size in 7 to 10 days. Keeping them in a slightly cooler environment will impede their growth and keeping them in a slightly warmer environment will accelerate their growth. They will run out of food in approximately 10 days and should be fed off by this time.
• 24ct. cups of hornworms are shipped with just enough food to grow to half their adult size which is the same mass as approximately 20 crickets. Hornworms in a 24 ct. cup should reach half their adult size in 7 to 10 days. Keeping them in a slightly cooler environment will impede their growth and keeping them in a slightly warmer environment will accelerate their growth. They will run out of food in approximately 10 days and should be fed off by this time.
• Hornworms should be enhanced with calcium by dusting or by including CalciWorms in your animal’s diet. Your animal’s diet should be further enriched by including waxworms for additional fat.
• Hornworm containers should be kept inverted with their food (media) at the top of the container, this prevents their waste from being combined with their food. Hornworm waste should be removed from their cups on a daily basis.
