Feeding hornworms to babies

[Andie]

My babies are now 9 & 6 weeks old. I'd like to order Hornworm eggs to hatch.

I know they grow super fast, but my question is; Once I have baby hornworms, how many can I feed to the babies each day?

Also, how many silkworms can they eat per day?

I know they're very nutritional.
Thanks!

As babies, you should be feeding them as much as they're willing to eat. Hornworms should definitely be the treats though, Silkworms can be a staple feeder. Silkworm eggs can be pretty cheap and they're very easy to hatch/raise.
