If you want to feed them off, feed them mulberry leaves or chow.

I believe they do eat each other, as I have found several going at it and had to pull them apart (was very nasty!!)

They will eat each other if they don't have proper food. They really only seem to eat hornwrom chow or mulberry. You can try greens, but it might not work.
