How often can I feed my boxie hornworms? I know they are notoriously fussy eaters, but since I gave him his first hornworm it is almost impossible to get him to eat anything else. He was even eyeballing my turquoise ring the other day!
Earthworms are no longer interesting and vegetables are pretty much an insult at this point. I have tried making him salads of shredded collards, grated squash, chopped earthworms (gross, but the pieces keep wiggling which usually keeps him engaged), sliced blueberries and a light drizzle of tuna juice. He just climbed on top of it and wouldn't take a bite.
His earthworm cup is bright blue - he is so excited when he sees that color and is so disappointed when he sees what is inside!
My questions are...how many hornworms are safe for him to eat a week (not too large) and how long until he gets hungry enough to eat veggies again? These things must be pretty delicious because my bearded dragon is behaving the same way right now and shunning all other forms of food ?
