For every reptile enthusiast who treats their pet as a cherished family member, we understand that feeding time isn't just a routine—it's a moment to nourish, to care, and to bond. At the heart of these precious moments, lies the choice of a perfect diet. Our premium hornworms are not just food; they're a commitment to the health, happiness, and longevity of your scaly companion. Because like you, we believe in offering nothing but the best to those who bring so much joy and wonder into our lives.

When it's time to feed your reptile, pick the hornworms gently using soft-tipped tweezers or clean hands. Depending on your pet's size and appetite, serve the appropriate number. Remember, their bright color and movement can stimulate the appetite of many reptiles, making feeding time a breeze!

Monitor Growth: Hornworms can grow quickly. If they've grown larger than your pet's preference, you can delay their growth by storing them at lower temperatures, but always above freezing.

This is where it all begins. Hornworm eggs are tiny and spherical. Within a few days (typically 2-5 days depending on conditions), these eggs will hatch, giving birth to voracious little larvae. The hornworms spend most of their life in this stage, gradually growing and molting through several instars. Over approximately 20-30 days, they'll increase their weight exponentially, feeding heavily and preparing for the next stage. It's during this larval phase that they're often used as feeder insects.

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. Inside the pupal casing, they undergo a remarkable transformation. Emerging from the chrysalis, the hornworm transforms into a large, sphinx moth. In this final stage, they live for up to a month, focusing primarily on reproduction to lay the next generation of eggs.
