They become poisonous after eating tomato plant leaves, so if you buy them from a distributer, they will be non-toxic. Then you just have to keep them away from tomato leaves.

dont feed them tomato leaves AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

feed them other stuff, if they have been in contact with tomato leaves, they are not good to feed.

This stuff is all on the web.
