hornworm chow

[busterboy]

can you use silkworm chow for hornworms? or is it better to buy silkworm and hornworm chow seperately?

also, does the silkworm chow change the color of the hornworms>?

trying to save money and just use one source if possible

I have tried to feed the hornworms silk worm chow and I did not have success. If they eat silkworm chow they will be green and if they eat hornworm chow they are teal in color. I know some people have fed them silkworm chow, but I have not been able to grow them well on it. I would use each chow seperately for best results.
