I want to grow horns but my concerns are the food and can you raise them year round.

I hear you can raise horns on mulberry. Raising them all year round I think would be possible as long as you can keep their environment warm enough (kinda like the silkworms)

I know silkworms definitely can and I think that hornworms can too

Is there anywhere I can buy hornworms w/o their habitats?? If I can feed them mulberry leaves, it'd save not having to buy all the habitats.

Pretty sure the only way to do that is to buy them as eggs

I found that even buying eggs, they were just about as expensive. Are they easy to hatch?? I am afraid of buying eggs and then getting nothing??

I haven't bought eggs for hornworms yet but I have with silkworms. The silkworm eggs I always had success with and almost all of them hatched

I buy hornworm eggs from Greatlakes, there are really easy, you prepare food, pour it in the supplied cup. Let that mixture cool & harden, then add about 20 eggs to each cup(he sends 3 cups w/every 50 eggs, usually end up with around 30 per) then I just put them in with Twister, my mellow male, in about a week you have little, tiny hornworms
