Product description
The Hornworm Feeding Kit has everything you need to keep live hornworms growing at home: a cup of live hornworms, empty stapled hornworm cups and a bag of dry hornworm food to mix yourself. It's the cheapest way to keep a steady supply of hornworms for bearded dragons, chameleons, geckos, monitors and other reptiles.
What's in the kit
- Live hornworms (25+, 50+, 75+ or 100+) in a cup with food and netting.
- Empty stapled cups: 24 oz deli cups with netting stapled in and a vented lid. There is no food inside these cups.
- Dry hornworm food (2, 4 or 8 oz): the same diet we raise our own hornworms on, with mixing instructions on the bag.
Hornworms grow fast, from about 1/4 inch to 1 inch in 3 to 5 days. When they crowd their cup or the food runs low, mix a batch of food, pour it into the empty cups and move some worms over. You get bigger, healthier feeders and fewer reorders.
Prefer cups that already have food in them? Choose Hornworms + Ready Food Cups instead.
How to mix the dry hornworm food
- Bring water to a rolling boil.
- Slowly stir in the dry food: 2 oz of food to 1.25 cups of water, 4 oz to 2.5 cups, 8 oz to 4 3/4 cups. That's 1 kg of dry food to 5 liters of water.
- Mix for 2 to 3 minutes with a hand mixer or blender until there are no clumps.
- Pour it into the cups and let it set. Wait until the moisture is gone before adding worms and putting the lids on.

- Everything ships together in one box, so you pay shipping once.
- Same SKU and contents every time, which makes reordering simple.
