Live Hornworms 25+ Per Habitat

Unlock Superior Nutrition for Your Reptiles with Oregon Silkworms’ Premium Live Hornworms

Step into the world of unparalleled quality with Oregon Silkworms, your definitive source for live hornworms, scientifically recognized as Manduca sexta. These remarkable creatures, commonly identified among circles as tomato hornworms, are not just a feeder choice but a holistic nutrition solution for your reptiles. Our hornworms serve as a luscious feast for a variety of pets, including bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, and more, representing a diet supplement unrivaled by any other in the market.

Nutritional Excellence: The Distinctive Benefit of Hornworms

When compared to other live feeders, hornworms offer a nutritional profile that stands apart. They are an incredible source of moisture, critical for keeping your beloved pets hydrated and supporting their kidney functions. The low-fat content ensures your reptiles maintain a healthy weight, while the ideal calcium to phosphorus ratio supports skeletal health, a critical aspect often overlooked in captive reptiles.

But that’s not all; these soft-bodied feeders lack the chitinous exoskeleton that many insects possess, eliminating the risk of impaction and making them particularly safe and digestible, especially for younger or sensitive reptiles. The ample protein content facilitates tissue growth and repair, vital for both growing reptilians and adult specimens during recovery or breeding periods.

Enticing Feeders: Appetite-Stimulating Colors

Struggling with a picky eater? The vibrant blue-green hue of our hornworms isn’t just for show. It plays a functional role in stimulating the predatory interest of reptiles, rekindling their appetite, particularly vital for individuals stressed due to environmental changes or recovering from illness. The coloration of these worms serves as a visual stimulant, naturally encouraging reluctant feeders to indulge, thereby ensuring they don’t miss out on essential nutrients.

Adaptable Sizing: Tailored Feeding Practices

Beyond their nutritional prowess, hornworms are esteemed for their considerable size, making them an exceptional meal for larger reptiles, ensuring they receive a substantial nutrient intake from a single feeding. Their impressive growth rate — another unique trait — allows you, the caretaker, to control their size to suit your pet’s needs, providing smaller worms for juvenile reptiles or achieving larger sizes for a fulfilling adult reptile diet.

Mental Stimulation: Encouraging Natural Behaviors

The benefits of hornworms transcend physical nutrition. Offering live prey to your reptiles, such as our active hornworms, encourages natural hunting and foraging behaviors, providing not just sustenance but essential mental stimulation. This interaction contributes to your pet’s cognitive well-being, preventing the lethargy and depression often observed in captive animals denied their instinctual behaviors.

Effortless Maintenance: Streamlined Care for Your Convenience

In your dedicated pursuit of providing the best for your reptilian companions, we understand the need for convenience. Hornworms, as opposed to several other feeder insects, demand minimal maintenance. They are sustainably housed in their shipping containers, feeding on the included nutrient-rich diet, eradicating the need for additional food or water sources. This not only simplifies care but ensures a clean, odor-free, and silent environment, conducive to indoor settings.

Ethical Breeding Standards: Commitment to Health and Safety

Your reptile’s safety is our priority. At Oregon Silkworms, we adhere to rigorous ethical breeding standards, raising our hornworms in pristine, controlled conditions to prevent exposure to diseases and contaminants. This practice safeguards against the introduction of harmful substances into your pet’s diet, upholding a standard of purity in every shipment we deliver.

Environmental Responsibility: A Pact for Our Planet’s Future

At Oregon Silkworms, we recognize our duty doesn’t stop at providing premium feeders. We’re committed to the well-being of our broader ecosystem. Therefore, we stress the importance of not releasing any live feeders, including hornworms, into the wild. Such actions could disrupt local ecosystems and harm native plant and animal species. Our hornworms are bred for captivity and should remain within that circle of responsibility. By respecting these guidelines, together, we uphold the integrity of our environmental symbiosis, protecting the natural world that inspires and nurtures us all.
