Gutloading Worms

[christina1234]

Hi there! I am going to buy my first cups of hornworms and butterworms ever... Planning to buy from Mulberry Farms- I see that they come in cups with food. Is this food nutritious enough for my panther- or should I be gutloading them with something else? Any help would be great.

Thank you

You can gutload butter worms on lightly steamed and cooled butternut squash, however they usually don't eat much. They eat the wood of the tebo tree so it's hard to get them to eat anything.

Hornworms will eat greens, squash, carrots, red bell pepper etc. But the chow they come with is also fine.
