I advise not to keep a caterpillar as a pet! They die very easily and surprisingly it needs much care. However if you do keep a caterpillar as a pet feed it plenty of fresh green leaves. If you do not notice your caterpillar has not eaten the leaves try a different kind; they do not eat every type of plant. Give it plenty of roaming areas and sticks to climb on. Make sure you are prepared for it to turn into a moth/butterfly! Mist it's housing with water very often [but not enough to drown it ;)] Do not handle it because they can often give away rashes. Make sure you are aware of your caterpillar's needs for it's specific type. I advise you look for it's kind on the Internet and learn about it's specific care needs, although I do not advise one as a pet! You may also lose interest in it very quickly! Hope this helps!
