Hatch to Home: Premium Care for Your Pet with Hornworms
We understand that feeding time for reptile enthusiasts is more than just a routine - it's a moment of nourishment, care, and bonding. That's why we offer premium hornworms as a commitment to the health, happiness, and longevity of your scaly companion. Our vibrant blue-green hornworms are the ultimate choice for your reptile's nutrition and well-being, making them easier to digest and suitable for a variety of pets, including lizards, amphibians, tarantulas, and birds.
Comprehensive Guide to Hornworm Care Housing: Your hornworms will arrive in a ventilated deli cup, providing an ideal home with adequate air. It’s important to keep the container in a cool, shaded area, avoiding direct sunlight as hornworms thrive in cooler environments. Feeding the Worms: The included chow is the perfect food source for hornworms. Watch the food level and replenish it as needed.
Feeding to Pets When it's time to feed your reptile, gently pick the hornworms using soft-tipped tweezers or clean hands. Serve the appropriate number depending on your pet's size and appetite. The bright color and movement of hornworms can stimulate the appetite of many reptiles, making feeding time a breeze.
Hornworm Lifecycle 1. Eggs: Hornworm eggs are tiny and spherical, hatching within a few days to give birth to voracious little larvae. 2. Larvae (Caterpillar): Hornworms spend most of their life in this stage, feeding heavily and preparing for the next stage. It's during this phase that they are often used as feeder insects. 3. Pupa (Chrysalis): Once they've reached their maximum size as larvae, hornworms burrow into the ground or find a secluded spot to pupate. This pupal stage can last from 2 to 3 weeks. 4. Adult (Moth): Emerging from the chrysalis, the hornworm transforms into a large, sphinx moth, which focuses on reproduction to lay the next generation of eggs.
Experience premium care for your cherished reptile with our superior hornworms, the perfect choice for their nutrition and well-being.
