If your parasite screen comes back negative it’s your green light to plan out a 2x2x4 cage when feasible I wish you best of luck. I will second what I think @Beman said about sourcing bugs online as being safer than stores. A large reason is a lot of stores will cross contaminate their feeder...

My guy will just take bites, less often now though He seems to prefer to eat new growth to my annoyance he likes the tender leaves

What id do is remove them for now Look up neptunes video on how to prepare plants for a cage and do that while you wait for the vet appointment

Did you repot your plants? Neptune has a video you can watch if you need any guidance about intergrating plants to your enclosure The main thing is no fertilizer, we tend to use organic potting soil (I tend to lean towards using substrate and add worm castings for nutrient) and give them a...

You are welcome These things are great. I have two of them in my cage to tie together the natural wood fixtures I have and to offer a path over my trailing plant so my guy doesn’t trample the plants by climbing over them

Everything can be a little scary with raising a new kind of animal, but you got access to knowledgeable keepers here if it makes you feel any better, continue to use this resource, be open to feedback and you’ll be okay.

Cheap timer for lights - yes Healthy poop that doesn’t smell - also good (should still get a fecal ran before building a permanent cage, a lot of us had made the mistake of skipping this step, building a beautiful cage and contaminated our hard work with parasites) Hornworm note: they are...

Some like to tuck themselves in early and even start to lighten up while lights are on. Mine isn’t one of them he seems to have a good internal clock and waits until the last 30 mins or so of the day to wind down
