Hornworms

[Ian]

with cresties and repashy, you just need to cut on all other foods and experiment with flavors, i have just 2 who would eat original only and a few who would eat mango only, absolutely none of adults would eat insects and actually that is how it goes in nature too, adults won't hunt insects unless they're dying of starvation.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll try out other flavors.

I don't think he's starving because he'll eat a large cricket every day.
(Repashy is constantly available.)

I think he even ate a mealworm beetle once...

I just got the hornworms and I'll see who likes them.

I must have been reading about the goliath version, because these little guys seem about as harmless as it gets.

Nah, they're just small now. Give them 2 weeks and they'll be as big as your thumb ; ) even still, pretty harmless for the most part. Only the largest of instars have mandibles worse considering as a potential hazard.

My frogs love hornworms! They never refuse them. My leopard gecko loves them to. One time though, a hornworm nipped my leo on the nose and he wouldn't touch hornworms for a while. I've been nipped by them to, doesn't really hurt though.
