Hornworm Help

[Zubi]

Hey everyone, Happy Friday . I got a dozen hornworms today from my local reptile house, they came in the little to-go containers with the paste and stuff on the bottom. I was just wondering how to care for these little guys, do i just leave them in here and thats all, do i need to clean out the poop. If so how do i do that

If you keep them warm your little guys will quickly get big. Flip the cup so that the lid is on the bottom. That way all the dropping drop to lid, and can be removed each day to keep thing clean inside the cup.

lol i cant really tell whats going on in your pic, so to stop them from growing should i put them in the fridge?

yes, you can put them in the fridge like every other day. you can also remove them from the food altogether for a day or so to slow down their growth

do i need to dust them?
