Nqa everything on here is what’s good to gutload with so I’d replace the spinach w something else

[prime reef]

I’m not trying to gut load them

I just wanna know if spinach is safe

[eager charm]

theyre gonne die, prepare yourself

hornworms require either a special diet or veggies in the nightshade family but the latter makes them unsafe for reptiles to eat.

tldr spinach is not safe

for the hornworm

They seem more alive this morning tho

[prime reef]

I know but their food is dried up

What am I supposed to do

[gusty cove]

Get them those veggies they need

[prime reef]

What veggies can they eat then

[prime reef]

Is it safe to give them to my gecko then ?

[eager charm]

if theyre still alive the gecko can eat them

they can stay alive on carrots for a short period of time ime

repashy also sells hornworm food
