Hornworms a good idea??

[kiwigecko16]

I've seen hornworms being eaten by leopard geckos before. Would my 1 year old gecko choke, or would it be possible to get smaller ones?? Thanks

These caterpillars being so soft bodied it is extremely unlikely the Gecko should choke, but do try to buy some which are appropriately sized, fully grown Hornworms are likely too thick to be comfortable for any Leopard Gecko to eat.

My geckos love them!

IF you live in the UK, I'm not sure hornworms are available.

Here are some tips for keeping them small. At room temperatures hornworms grow HUGE in a matter of days.

Indeed, I can confirm, it is not possible to purchase Hornworms anywhere within in the UK. They are deemed a pest species.... :roll:
