How do you care for monarch caterpillars?

A Question About Monarch Caterpillars?

  • I have a 10 gallon tank that I'm going to fill with sand and dirt and gravel and standing sticks, I am going to order 2 or 3 monarch caterpillars from a breeder, and I was wondering if I could find milk weed in southern NH. I was wondering if caterpillars need to drink?

  • Answer:

    You shoudl be able to find milkweed in southern NH. It grows in Massachussetts. Ask somone in your area that knows about plants to point it out to you. When I was a kid I caught catapillars a couple times and watched them grow and turn into butterflies. I just remember them being in a tank with lots of leaves to eat. I don't know if they drink or not. Ask the breeder how to take care of them. They would know.
