Our newest pet

This is the whooley bear caterpillar that the girls found a couple of weeks ago.

He has been named Mischief and has been living in his new home since the girls found him.

We planned to keep him for a short time until he spins his cocoon and turns into whatever he will turn into. However, in our research of what food he needs we discovered that he won't change until next spring. And the website we were looking at said something about "rescuing a whooley bear caterpillar and keeping him safe through the cold winter".

Great! Now we have a new pet! And we will need to some how get him some grass to eat during the winter. Luckily we have some expertise on this, hopefully JJ doesn't mind sharing.

So, we have a new pet and his name is Mischief.
