Need your advice!

[vegas shooby]

Well I'm about too place an Order of worms like I don't if I should get the small hornworms or the big one ...here...

 

[brandychams]

hey shoooby i usually get the smalls because within a week or so theyve more than doubled in size they are eating machines and grow super fast!!

Horn worms grow really fast in a week as long as they have enough food to get them big . Id go small and then feed them off as they get bigger which doesn't take long.

agreed! They grow like weeds! I always get the pod and they have the food right in there. If you dont want them to grow as fast, then take them out of the container and put them in another one away from the food to slow down the growing process.

Alright I think I just get the small ones then...do guys know if they come with food already same with the silkworms or is it sold separately...about to place that order in from mulberrys fram it's my first time buying from them...

If they are sold in pods then they have a certain amount of food with them in a plastic container pod.

Silk worms do not grow as fast as horn worms can grow.

As for hornworms growing to fast you can also place them in the fridge according to Great Lakes Hornworm to slow them down on eating and growing. here is a link

I just feed them off before they get to big if that is even the case for some of my chameons that are full grown who love them....
