Is it ok to keep hornworms in enclosure?

[Cameronjb]

I'm going out of town tomorrow night and u was wondering if I could put a hornworm in there overnight so they have something to eat in the morning
Would this be ok?

I'll be back late the next day after they go to bed

That should be fine. Do you have a feeder cup to put the hornworm in? Use that, and put a bit of food in there for the hornworm so it doesn't crawl out and start looking for it's own lunch. Also, how old is your chameleon? If it's over a year you can just skip the day of feeding and they will be fine.

Also keep in mind if they dont have enough food, and you have a few worms, when you come back, you will have one big worm. Ive never heard of a horn worm attack lol. Oh the horns, the horns! its like a cow lick...

I would worry about it maybe biting your cham or eating all your live plants. Other than that its fine. Its a risk I wouldnt take but you can if you want
