Not the average question about chameleons

[Bigbrothet1$$]

So I know this forum is about chameleons but I have a question about one of the feeder bugs: the horn worm. So he eats them perfectly fine, but what would happen if let’s say a kitten got to one? Would it have major consequences on the kitten or no?

your kitten will be fine, just got an extra treat.

Where is the obligatory pic of this kitten who lives on the wild side?

My cat enjoys chewing on them and then leaving them as a tribute. He's a monster... Your kitten will be just fine, may get some hornworm juice on his face and chest, but he'll be ok.

Somewhere there is a recipe on this site for hornworms @kinyonga . Supposedly they taste like peanut butter.

It would be best if your kitten only ate the ones raised on hornworm feed because wild outdoor hornworms can pick up toxins from the plants they eat. Those are very bad for chameleons and probably not the best for kittens.

Here’s one recipe for you to try…fried green tomatoes, “draws inspiration from the cuisine of the Whistle Stop Cafe, that fictitious Alabama diner made famous by novelist Fanny Flagg”….

lol it’s a cat, they eat bugs all the time. I feel like half of my cat’s diets are bugs that wonder in the house during summer.

Well that’s gold to know! I didn’t know they could be toxic, but thankfully it was one from a hornworm breeder.

Thank you! Little cutie! I am a ‘cat lady’ (currently with no cats) so do love to see them all.
