Redfoot eating a caterpillar

[omarnegron]

I found a caterpillar inside my Redfoots enclosure today and minutes later the caterpillar was resting in peace. I know that RF's eat earthworms in the wild, but I don't know if caterpillars are included in their diet. Can anyone tell me if I have to worry about it?

Caterpillars are good protein.

Watch out for brightly colored and fuzzy caterpillars as they may be poisonous or irritating. Also bugs that feed on poisnous plants are a no-no, you are what you eat!

I agree! Not just any old caterpillar!

It's unlikely they'd try to eat a non-edible version on their own...
