Hornworms Grew too fast

[JohnDoe]

So i was out of the house for 2 days and my medium size hornworms exploded in size and are to big to feed my female. If i try to turn them into moths, would they be to big for my lil girl to eat? They went from about an inch to about 3- 3 1/2 inchs in 2 days. which sucks because she loves them. Well anyone looking for hornworms near Northeast PA

The moths are much smaller

Next time you can put the horn worms in the frig. Just don't let them get too cold and front keep therm in there longer than 2 days. The moths are huge, might be too big to feed off plus it takes three weeks or more for the moth to hatch.

Haha they do get big FAST! To slow their growth down you need to chill them out. The fridge is too cold, but if you grab a cooler put some eyes in a big bag on one side, make a decvider wall with cardboard and place the worms on the other side... Depending on how little your cham is the moths may be too large aswell. They are well over 2" hope this helps
