Is one adult Hornworm enough?

Give him a day off. Let him grow a bit. Those are big worms .How long it takes to grow a 4 inch worm?

They take about 2 weeks. 3 weeks is the usual time,but mine grew in 2. They are very large. I've just been trying to build his strength up more since he finally started eating on his own. I probably should have started slower .but his appetite came back full force. He hasn't refused anything yet. Especially not a hornworm. I'm worried I've fed him too much. I hope it didn't hurt him.

I wouldn't over do it with horn worms, when I feed my guys a horn it's every couple days cause them horn worms are filling. Then on the other days Ill give them other little meals like crickets/supers/earth. Other wise you could spoil him and he'll only eat cake and no dinner

If your worms are growin too fast set cups in cooler area and it will slow them down OR buy more frogs so they can get some horn worms too

Ha ha! I have another Pac, but its a baby and though I'm sure it would try and eat a full grown Hornworm which would be kind of funny. There's no way the little guy/girl could eat them. So Grif gets them. They definetly made him full.

Would you like it if you only had to eat pizza every day. Some where down the line you would get sick of pizza.lol You know They sell 24 small horn worms in a jar. They don't get as big as 4 inches but maybe 2the most. They also sell 12 in a jar and they get 4 inches. They had them in the show for 37 bucks of abox of 250.

I know. I get them from Great Lakes Hornworms. I thought about buying the 25 count and then buying some Hornworm food so they could all reach 4 inches. I guess ill do that later. Right now I get the 12 count. They grow rediculously fast. I give Grif a variety each night that I feed him. He used to never eat night crawlers at all. I kind of tricked him. I gave him two 3 inch Hornworms and then offered a good sized night crawler to see if he thought it was a hornworm and eat it. What do you know it worked. Now he knows they aren't hornworm, but he realizes that they are good too and will now readily eat them. Pretty sneaky of me.
