    I don't know. Of anyone around me that sells them and none of the pet stores have them so I order them from Great Lakes Hornworm. They're in Michigan so their state is right above Ohio. It takes about 2 days for me to get them and its $10.45 for a cup of 12 to 15 worms. The shipping is like $11.00 so I end up paying $22.00 for 15 worms. I would breed them myself if I could. I can get all the supplies I need for breeding from this company, but I don't have the space.

    I live in Michigan I get hornworms for my cranwelli and tomato frog. $10.45 is not a bad price, the shipping is what sucks! I buy them for a dollar each which is a bit much for me, but the way the pet store raises them doesn't seem like it would take too much space(I'm not sure whatch you're working with space wise) they keep there's in a deli cup/jar like people do with there fruit fly cultures and just put the food they feed them and like a netting for them to climb. You probably already know this just throwing that out there just in case you didn't! For some reason both my tomato and cranwelli stopped eating them not a clue why, but I'm sure they'll start eat them again soon. Hornworms grow incredibly fast too.

    I've tried to let the pupas metamorph into the Tobacco butterflies but they usually don't come out. I knew the process its just the growth factor that is the problem. They grow so fast that I'm pretty sure there would be deli cups everywhere.

    Your frogs probably stopped eating them because they are tired of them. Like us the tire of the same food after a while and want something different. Try a different food for a while then try the Hornworms again.

    Maybe their tastes differ too.

    Both of mine have no interest in crickets, roaches, or nightcrawlers. I snapped another pic of them, so I will try to get that posted tonight.

    This is exactly what happened with my little guys. They seemed to LOVE them at first but after like the 3rd feeding they denied them.
