High-Nutrition Live Hornworms for High-Impact Feeding

RodentPro.com offers live hornworms for reptiles, amphibians, arachnids, and other insect-eating animals that benefit from a large, nutrient-rich feeder insect. Hornworms are the larval, or caterpillar stage of the sphinx moth, also known as Manduca sexta, and are an excellent source of calories, nutrients, and moisture.

Live hornworms are a high-impact feeder option with body mass equivalent to approximately 20 crickets, making them an efficient way to help support weight, body mass, growth, and hydration for the animals in your care. They are especially useful for insectivores whose regular diet includes crickets, mealworms, giant mealworms, superworms, or other feeder insects.

Because hornworms provide valuable moisture along with size and nutrition, they can be an excellent addition to a varied feeding routine for reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids. For balanced nutrition, hornworms should be enhanced with calcium by dusting or by including Calci Worms in your animal’s diet. Waxworms can also be included as a supplemental feeder when additional dietary fat is needed.

Our live hornworms are produced in a state-of-the-art facility with an emphasis on high-quality animal nutrition. Hornworms are available in 12-count or 24-count cups that include enough hornworm food to support growth over 7 to 10 days. Hornworms shipped in 12-count cups have enough food to grow to full size, while hornworms shipped in 24-count cups have enough food to grow to approximately half their adult size.

Live hornworms are easy to care for after delivery. Simply remove hornworm waste from the cup daily to allow for proper airflow and maintain the quality of your feeder supply.
