how many times should I feed the butterflys a day

you do not have to feed them they come with the food they need, in the same cup that they are shipped in

I received five health caterpillars which morphed into five live butterflys. Three of my butterflys emerged a week after I put the cocoons into the butterfly garden and two followed about twelve hours later. I immediately put in fresh flowers from the yard and squirted the sugar water onto the flowers. I did this again about 12 hrs. later. The next morning I refreshed the flowers and repeated as the day before. The butterflys grew rapidly and because of an incoming storm and cooler weather, I released after 2 and 1/2 days. The butterflys immediately flew out of site. Butterflys migrate at very high attitudes so I am sure they are now enjoying a pina colata in warmer climes. This was a very rewarding experience for four generations of my family. I hope this helps.

Under favorable conditions, mature red worms can produce two to three cocoons per week? That's a lot of baby worms, considering each cocoon will yield anywhere from 3-20 juvenile worms! If you want long-lasting sustainability, it's important to keep your red wigglers comfortable and happy to encourage more reproduction.

I use it to feed 2 times each compartment per day and last 27-32 days, it depends of the type of food

Marilyn, I purchased five praying mantis egg cases a few weeks ago, and I placed them in my vegetable gardens. They all hatched and there for a while I had zillions. (One case hatched on my dining room table overnight. I was sitting at the table and saw probably a couple hundred on my shirt, arms and plate! It was funny. I gathered them up on a sheet of paper best I could.) They are wonderful to watch. You might keep some in a terrarium, but the little guys start eating each other pretty soon. So after they hatch in the terrarium, take ' em outside and remove the lid. All mine are outside now, and occaisionally, one will stop by and say "hello"., a little bigger than before. Have fun!Tom Marilyn, I purchased five praying mantis egg cases a few weeks ago, and I placed them in my vegetable gardens. They all hatched and there for a while I had zillions.

If the caterpillars become numerous enough to threaten the vine's existence (as they do mine every year), you can simply use BT to kill them off. I love the butterflies so I allow them the caterpillars to enjoy the vine until they become too large in number. BT is organic and OMRI approved and I don't hesitate to use it when it becomes absolutely necessary...which is usually not until late summer. The rest of the time I love having all those butterflies in my garden.

Passion flower vines are host plants for the Gulf Fritallary (sp?) butterfly. Their caterpillars eat the leaves. I don't know of anything other than these catapillers that eats them. I have 4 small ones that are growing fast - I just hope it is fast enough to keep up with the demand from the caterpillars. Geez, those butterflys lay a lot of eggs and they all seem to hatch at once. My husband removed a lot of the caterpillars by hand and we're thinking about covering the plants with mosquito netting until they grow large enough to support the caterpillars - I have milkweed in my yard and it is a joy to see the Monarchs and we've had several Monarch caterpillars go into beautiful green crysalis...

I have fed my betta 1 pellet in the morning and two in the evening and she has been healthy for the last two years. 5-10 is definitely too much and will probably cloud the water if it doesn't eat them. If u do choose to go that route then I would agree with kcharn, prob a month for 10 and two months for 5. But over feeding is bad for your betta!

You can feed multiple times per day AND more than one feeding at a time. Easy to program.

It depends on the owner. Whatever you are more comfortable with. But usually, I give my betta around 3-4 Pellets. 1 set in the morning and at night. Sometimes 1 pellet in the afternoon.

The instructions say 2 scoops per 100 pounds, 1 to 2 times per day. There are about 60 scoops in a 420 g container. So for my 250 lb. husband I used 5 scoops once a day (in the morning). It lasted 12 days.

I have the LFS small fish formula and Omega 3s and give 1-3 pellets a feeding 1-2 times a day. I alternate between pellets and flightless fruit flies. I also try to fast a day here or there. Keep an eye on their stomach and gauge from there. If it bulges, even once, lay off the dosage and adjust from there.

There are a number of posts online about this. But it seems to be safe to eat 6 to 10 a day. However, if you find yourself having any weird symptoms, like your lips feeling numb, cut back or stop. And keep the seeds away from kids or pets!
