I know for most crickets are a staple, but hornworms are way easier to gutload and grow pretty big and are a good source of water.
I gutload my hornworms with kale collard greens carrots thin pieces of green pepper and yam.
If gut loaded properly can hornworms be used as staple??
my 6 mo old veiled does want to eat anything except for veges and butterworms and he prefers the veges loll. ive offered: flies, hornworms, silk, supers, crickets, no dubia i heard there were illegal in ontario canada.
is a butterworm and veges "salad" ok as a staple diet
