Is this normal?

He was mad about that >< He stopped eating a couple days before I got back and my mom got freaked. His tank was so dry the soil was drying him out. I had to dump a gallon of water into his tank before it was moist enough for him to feel better. My worms are all natural, not plant food other than worm poop and decaying leaves. once it starts getting dry around again, i'll have to buy them to provide enough food through summer. I was thinking of trying hornworms to add a bit more variety too.

Hornworms are excellent treat feeders. They are extremely nutritious and filling. I bet he will love them. Just make sure he doesn't over eat on them because when I say filling I mean very filling. A mature caterpilar is 4 inches long and as big around as a finger. They can mature in less than 2 weeks.

that's what i was thinking. I hate eating the same thing over and over, so I'd like to give my animals different things too. he loves his worms, so they're staying. I found a site that just started selling baby hornworms, like tiny ones and they say if you put them in the fridge they stop growing.

This is true, but you don't want to feed them to JR cold. It takes them a while to wake back up after you get them out too. They are Grif's favorite food.

I try to get the worms to warm up a bit, but mom fed them cold. he's a bit slow now, but he snapped up a piece of worm just fine. He hasn't burrowed at all into his new bedding; I think he's not sure about the new texture. He is mad about being left with my mom, I'm sure of it >< Poor guy.
