This is the best price this top seller has been for a long while.

    I've been debating getting one of these but thought the price advertised on TV was a little steep. This is a much better price, so thank you sharing ;-)
    It will always be impossible to please everybody all of the time but so long as someone is happy with me somewhere at some point, my job here is done!
  • thanks op, my dd loves the hungry caterpillar and this will be great for her birthday. Only £3.49 but £6 p&p which is a bit steep, but all in all a good price.

    These are great fun we had one last year and all enjoyed coming down in the morning to see what progress had been made overnight! It's a shame the re-order of more caterpillars costs more than buying the whole kit again as the pop up garden is re-usable again and again if you bung it in the wash it's fine.

    I have had this kit a few times at the school where I work. Inside the pack is a voucher that you redeem and then they send the caterpillars in a little tub when you want them where they stay until they pupate. As far as I can remember you can order the caterpillars on their own too.

    If anyone has the email/ address/phone. for just the eggs I would be grateful.Its now £14.45 on Amazon by the way.
  • funnyguy,

    Don't believe you can buy eggs, but you can get caterpillers + food
    from insect lore themselves (insectlore-europe.com) at £11.99
    (Sorry I can't post links)

    or just get voucher from amazon search for "Caterpillar Refill Voucher for Butterfly Garden Set" and redeem it - £11.25

    - Not much saving from the whole set though....

    Children love these - we've had them 3 or 4 times before, recommended if you can afford it.
