Feed your ladybug small amounts of raisins, lettuce, or honey every day. Soak 2-3 raisins in water for a couple of minutes to soften them up before dropping them into your habitat. You can also tear half of a leaf of lettuce into small pieces and allow your ladybug to graze.

How do you keep ladybugs alive?

Small pieces of cardboard or twigs will give your ladybug something to climb on. A damp, not dripping, paper towel or clean sponge will provide a water source for your pet ladybug, and aphids or wet raisins are suitable food. You can't overfeed a ladybug, as she'll eat what she needs, just as she would in the wild.

What fruits can I feed ladybugs?
