I usually put them on the vine.

i put supers and silks on the screen and i put the bigger hornworms on the vine and let it crawl around.

I think its funny because the hornworm will try to eat any fake leaves in there

Make sure to give an appropriate size worm. Those hormorms can get pretty big. The rule of thumb is the distance between the eyes is about as big as your chams throat, so that's what will fit going down.

If its a larva that will "hold on" to a vine or the side of the cage, like silkworms or hornworms, that's what I do. If its a butterworm or mealworm or waxworm (none of which I use often) I put in a feeding cup, because these ones dont hang on well. I often use a feeding cup for kingworms (aka superworms) too.
