Cutting the hornworms horn??
I just got 3 tubs of hornworms from coastal silkworms so I am ready to try hornworms for my cham for the first time today and I did some searching on the forum about hornworms before I made my purchase and I came across a thread that said its a good idea to remove their horn's before feeding. Is this true, and if so why? The horns don't actually seem like they could do much of anything really, they are soft to the touch.

I don't, but I didn't know you were suppose to. I can tell you one thing....those horn worms grow fast and get BIG. How old it your cham?

I feed hornworms to my guys all the time. The horn is harmless and does not need to be pulled off. A crickets leg is more dangerous than that horn.

I figured as much. It doesn't seem like it could do anything, short of pick McLovins' teeth
 He's 7 months old Jann.

Thankfully I did buy them small. Like I said, I did a little research and thanks to this GREAT forum I managed to not be tempted and buy the large guys

I would suggest keeping them in the coolest part of the house. I keep mine where the well comes up in so it is always cool in the laundry room. They still grow pretty fast but not as fast as they do in any of the cham rooms.
Oh, you might want to wear goggles when feeding hornworms
