Its host plant - the plant you found it on. Most caterpillars won't eat anything else. Make sure it can eat continually, as that's most important to it. Caterpillars are built to eat the whole time, and grow the whole time. The best would be to have the plant in a pot in its cage so the leaves are fresh (replace the plant when there's no leaves left :P). Also make sure the caterpillar isn't cold - room temperature would be ok. No water dish as it might drown in it, the best would be to mist the cage every day, but make sure there's no mold growing. Good luck! ^^

How do you keep a caterpillar as a pet?

Well, first of all you need to know if it is a baby or not! If you bring it home or keep it in your garden and then the next day you find out it's turned into a butterfly than there was no point! DON'T put it in a box that has a lid because the caterpillar wouldn't like it. Try and make it feel comfortable as if it was in it's actual habitat. Hope this helps! If it doesn't than sorry.
