Hornworm and silkworm eggs

[busterboy]

I want to start buying them to feed off and breed....

But should I buy eggs first, or the actual worms?
Also, if anyone can please let me know how you collect eggs daily from hornworm moths without letting them get loose from the enclosure, that would be great. Thanks

Oh and can you feed silkworm Moths, hornworm moths, their pupaes to your champs? Or no

The hornworm moths are nocturnal so if you collect eggs during the day they are sleeping, and let me tell you those guys won't move for anything. You can move them and they won't fly away. The silk worm moths don't fly so you don't have to worry about them. If you want to feed off worms and get some to breed I would suggest buying worms rather than eggs as its take a while for them to grow from eggs.

The hornworm moths are HUGE so it would need to be a big Cham to eat them. I don't know the nutritional value of moths, but I know some people do feed them off. I only have little guys so I don't.
