Shiso (Beefsteak leaf)

Poor shiso ( beefsteak leaf) in my class after the summer.  We ended up throwing the plants away today after finding caterpillars and insects crawling on the leaves.
Before summer, each student was able to take a leaf home and enjoy it.   Some said they wrapped it in a rice and seaweed wrap or deep fried it like tempura.  Some put on the leaf on rice with a raw egg and one ate it just like it was.  Growing sponge gourds and then baby leaves (a type of lettuce)  and shiso has been a joy this year!
I am now looking for an affordable pet we can take care of :)  Any ideas?
