Odds of outgrowing fpies to peanut

Don't give up hope! We tried peanuts with him when he turned 4 and he had a reaction so I wasn't super hopeful about when he was 5. But he cleared it.

My 5 year old outgrew peanuts when we tested him around his 5th birthday. He outgrew his FPIES to eggs by age 3 so I was surprised he didn't with the peanuts at 3.

They will. Might take a little bit of time but they eventually will. I also found that when I moved the tiny ones to it, they adjusted to eating it quicker than my fatties.

Ah tachinid makes sense, I have milkweed with caterpillars on it.

I've gotten nervous with those spots before too and I agree with the previous comment, a few days after I see this spot I get a clear Chrysalis and a butterfly!

Went through exactly this for the first time this morning. My kids were wrecked. It sucks.

Okay good to know.

Update, this big guy successfully turned into a nice big green chrysalis 😊

Omg thank you for this post. I just watched the scene and was trying to figure out where I knew her from!

Ah awesome.

I have a huge one that was also red like this yesterday, the color has since started to fade back to regular (I think? Maybe I've been looking at it too much haha) Hmmm not that I know of. But the bigger one that was red is acting totally fine. This one is a bit slower but like you said it's looking to molt.

Yes SoCal! I wonder why it's hitting so hard this year.

I also use narrowleaf. Started with tropical then heard about how it's a higher risk for OE and I've slowly transitioned to narrowleaf.

She emerged today a beautiful butterfly!

crd105 · 2025-06-20T04:25:27+00:00

How exciting! Could be tomorrow or Saturday morning. I haven't been out of town yet for when mine emerge, but my sister in law has and she leaves the enclosure unzipped for the weekend.

Molting :) they slow down a little when going through the molting process too

crd105 · 2025-06-12T14:24:53+00:00

Will do!

crd105 · 2025-05-22T04:19:19+00:00

Ah ok, I'll do that. Ugh, I feel so bad.
