Possible picky eater....

I purchased my G. pulchra about 2 weeks ago. Have offered a hornworm twice. Abdomen has continued to shrink. Shows not only no interest. But tends to (for lack of a better description) go "EW. Tf is this?" And walks it's prissy ass off. I have NO IDEA what it's breeder fed it. GO FIGURE. THE ONE QUESTION I DIDN'T ASK. Maybe crickets? Or should I just wait? It's a juvenile.

Hornworms sometimes not the best. I have some Ts that seem to not want Dubia roaches but will slam crickets, mealworms etc. I like getting soldier fly larvae and let them turn into flies. They get in and beat those wings the T's go crazy. Their great for smaller T's like slings and juvies!

The best food I have found for a feeding response, are crickets. I kept Dubias for a while, but many of my T's were just not interested in them. I feed all of my slings beheaded mealworms, with an occasional Morioworm. And all of my larger T's crickets of an appropriate size.

With crickets I have found with some T's.I need to keep the cricket size smaller, as anything larger stops the feeding response.

My teenage GBB is a freak for mealworms. When he gets full size I graduate him to Dubias but right now he seems too small for them.

Unsure. Still very black & shiny. Pretty active too.

Maybe the horned worm is to big? General rule is nothing bigger than the Ts abdomen.
