Obviously, I can't feed 15 of 'em in a day so what do I feed them to keep them alive till then?

They come in a cup that holds their food. You store the cup upside down so their poop falls onto the lid of the cup, which you can take off and dump. They will hang out on their food which is at the top of the upside down cup. Took me about three weeks to go through my last order and they all survived just fine.

These worms come with food already, you are buying a lot of worms then you should purchase food... Hornworms.com is a great place and cheap

They come with food, enough to last generally 2 weeks. They come in small at first; but by the end of the two weeks they reach nearly 4 inches.

The bottom of the container they are shipped in is full of food that will last far longer than the worms lifespan. It is a hard mixture that they slowly eat away. I have not seen them finish it by then time I've fed all 15 yet

They love tomatoes. I fed the hornworms some tomatoes to keep them going. It's pretty fascinating to watch, they will DEVOUR that tomato as soon as you place it in their container.

I put mine in a spoonful of their regular canned food just before mealtime. Made sure each one finished their respective spoons, then gave them their regular meal of canned food.

A feeder like the previous poster mentioned. They also come in metal. Buy the plastic jar mentioned on that page and fill it with food. It screws into the base. Same with the water (with the base for water). With the metal base I was able to use a mason jar- just fyi.

You can either buy it from someone who makes it (usually people who sell them make food as well), or you can feed them leftover kitchen scraps and reptile food. They will literally eat just about anything. Just recently I put in an apple that was turning and the seed pulp and skin from a squash. I've always been told no meat and no dairy.

They actually don't need food! They don't grow very fast without food! Just provide a sunny location! Go by instructions that come with the plant, if you buy it from Joel's Carnivous Plants on Amazon! You can also ask Joel anything about these plants. Hope this has been helpful!!!

I bought this for someone else and he said it worked very well. I am not sure about feeding one or several at a time.

I have the LFS small fish formula and Omega 3s and give 1-3 pellets a feeding 1-2 times a day. I alternate between pellets and flightless fruit flies. I also try to fast a day here or there. Keep an eye on their stomach and gauge from there. If it bulges, even once, lay off the dosage and adjust from there.

I just keep them in a kitchen cupboard that is handy to head outside with them. They do not need to be refrigerated as live mealworms do. I just do not like mealworms in my fridge, and the birds just love these...so much so that I had to order a feeder that keeps the larger birds (and squirrels!) from getting all the worms!

I let them grow until they started getting a little hard, then I harvested them and made 1 dish. There aren't a lot so might as well eat them all at once. The other side of the box didn't sprout for me.

Bunch them up into a ball ans shoot them down the hole nice and compact. That usually does the trick.

Keep the materials in the little bag, as the rodents will chew through it. We lifted our garbage can "shed" up and threw a few underneath, as we knew that dogs/pets would be unable to get to the bags. A Week later the bags were all torn with the pellets mostly gone..

There won't be any after several days because they will resort to cannibalism because of the lack or food or die from the toxic water. All the information is listed on www.change.org/users/savethefrogs

I guess you could cut them into thin strips like Toni suggested or cut it into pieces small enough so they won't get stuck in her mandibles? You may be better off with Greenies or a chew that isn't flat. I actually stopped giving them to my Staffie b/c I wasn't crazy about the lack of real veggies & that they're produced in Vietnam.

They should do great, just get 3 or 5. They will eat the leftover food and other snails.

You will need at least one full bag of 30 lbs if not more. 15 lbs wont even last you 15 days. I feed my dog 4 cups of food a day too, and one 30 lb bag lasts me little under a month.

I dont think anything u can do except I have several feeders. The young ones in spring seem to get along better and sometimes 4 or 5 will be feeding at same time. The older ones do tend to dive bomb the others tho. Really aggressive sometimes. My only advice is try to add another feeder. Good luck.

Must be about a half cup.......I feed them their regular dry food -- one egg-full lasts all night for 2 of them. It's a little humbug getting the crunchies inside the egg, and they do tend to roll it around the floor and scatter the food. Gives them something to do however.
