Hornworms can get pretty expensive quickly, but as long as you aren't feeding them exclusively DBD on Amazon has really good deals, and Josh's frogs does as well. They both have free shipping if you watch for sales.
I could try, but if it's a male my Thor will probably pick on him too. And hims just a little baby, Thor is much bigger so that worries me! I've had dubia bigger than this little guy.
For the record, they were feeding large crickets. And the cgd dish was right by the hide and plastic branch the older male was clearly claiming. It was 5 in the evening and the older one was all fired up. He wasn't benefitting from the presence of the baby either.
I have so many eyeball lickers! But him was so bullied, he hid his little derpy self under the substrate. I couldn't just leave him there! Somebody else needs a little eyeball licker more than I do.
The big box pet store is something that I desperately try to avoid, but my bug order was delayed and long story short... new lizard. They had this tiny baby, maybe a month out of the shell in a tiny display case with a clearly sexable male. And they just didn't understand why it wouldn't eat...
I'm thinking 4-6 weeks, especially if they're being shipped. If you guys with experience are coming to pick up the babies, they'd be ready a little sooner. I might have my vet take a peek at the ones being shipped to be sure they're strong enough.
In my experience, the local shops are getting them online and just marking them up. If not Ebay, than Amazon. Josh's frogs has free shipping from their website right now, but they change their sales regularly.
