    Default Crickets vibrate!

    I was feeding crickets to my frog tank one-by-one with tongs. I never noticed this before, but some crickets I pick up with the tongs make some sort of repeated 'clicking' that I can feel through the tongs. I'm sure it's a defensive 'leave me alone' behavior.

    If I can feel this vibration through the tongs....

    I suspect that my fire belly toads, when they have one in their mouth, feel the death throes of a cricket quite well.

    I kept feeding them last night until I ran out of crickets. Every frog was stuffed to the point where I couldn't 'sell that last cricket' to any frog...for a few hours until one became hungry again.
