They can eat mulberry leaves as part of their diet, just make sure that the leaves themselves are sterilised for any nasties that may be lurking inside and washed if you think they may have been prone to pesticide usage, though if this is the case I'd rather find another tree, grove or area that isn't exposed. Dandelion leaves are also great for them.
Some veggies work too. Carrot and bell peppers have been reported to work for some people. I assume you may be raising hornworms to be feeders? If so, avoid tomatoes. This is the natural food that they feed on that makes them toxic. Without it, they are usualy benign. Make sure there is a enough food for all of them in there, as they have been known to eat eachother.
