Any Hope?

First buddy started to J hook about 36 hours ago. It was about mid 80 at the time, temps have dropped to 70 during the day and 50 at night since then. Hoping that's just slowing the process. Second buddy had grown very quickly the last couple of days (I'd say an instar a day) then expelled a bunch of green liquid yesterday morning sometime. It was moving around when I got home last night, but is curled weirdly at the bottom this morning. First buddy is hanging from the lid and I don't want to disturb him if he's doing ok. The milkweed is all homegrown and I don't use pesticides, but is in my front yard so I suppose if my neighbors do some could have drifted. Worried the one has NPV and it's going to spread, but also worried if I try to remove it I will kill the j hooking one.

Lots of Green

Woke up this morning to this cat having made a big green mess, not sure if I should be worried. One buddy made a chrysalis on a stick further down on Sunday, another decided to j hook on the lid of the enclosure last night, so I'm worried this one may cause issues for them. There have been times I've seen the green mess before, but never quite so much!
