Hornworm Food

Enjoy a supply of food for your Hornworms. We tried dozens of food formulations and have standardized on this blend. Can also be used for Silkworms!

1/4lb Cooking Instructions-

1. Mix 1 1/2 cups hot water into one 1/4lb powdered Hornworm food packet, in a microwave safe container, with electric hand mixer.

2. Cover with plastic wrap or container lid and heat on high for 2 minutes in microwave. Food will cook best, with turntable on, while cooking in a 1200W microwave.

3. Remove from microwave (Caution: bowl and food will be hot!) and remove cover. Mix thoroughly with electric hand mixer.

4. Replace cover and microwave for an additional 2 minutes. If you have an older microwave cook for 3 min.

4. Remove from microwave and mix thoroughly with electric hand mixer once more. Replace the cover, and place in the refrigerator to cool.

Once the food has cooled, it is ready to feed. Food will firm and set to a soft like cheese texture that can then be grated for feeding Hornworms.
