FAT CAT 50 ml Floral Tubes- large floral tubes to feed caterpillars 🌿🐛

The FAT CAT Floral Tubes are exactly what I needed for the Common Milkweed leaves. The leaves stayed fresh and gave the Monarchs ample time to eat it all.

I really like the size of these floral tubes. You don't need to refill them as often. I do have one issue with them that I didn't like. I raise a lot of Monarchs, and I get multiple cats on a cutting. When I need to remove the entire cutting but still have a cat on part of a stem, the cap fits so tight that I really have to pull. I've knocked a couple of cats off doing this before I realized this would happen. I ended up cutting the leaves off that had cats on them and replaced the stems. I use the racks, but I also had a cat make a J in it. I waited several days to be sure his chrysalis was hardened, and I carefully removed it. Unfortunately, this chrysalis never eclosed. I ended up wrapping the racks in plastic wrap, but this makes it hard to get out the frass. I'll come up with something else next year to hold the tubes.

Please get more poop platters, I've been getting lots more monarchs.

They worked out so well for my first time as a mother monarch!. It was so easy to keep replacing milkweed for the Hungary caterpillars!

Extremely useful in supplying our voracious caterpillars with milkweed!
I inserted the tubes through a piece of 1/4" plywood into which I'd drilled 1" diameter holes. They fit perfectly.
