Cricket massacre...

Lynn,
Yes it was 2 bigger crickets that were torn up. There are a few bigger crickets in the batch of small ones I bought. I'm going to make sure I feed them only smaller ones. Its 2 nights in a row they have eaten well and it has always been the larger size crickets left over. I'm glad to see they are feeding well since i swithed to a white bowl instead of a clear bowl. I think it makes the crickets more visable.

I have 6. Three are very proficient at grabbing a cricket. The other three are really, really clumsy.
Sometimes I wonder about our sweet red eyes- they are not the sharpest tools in the shed. lol

Can't have sharp things in the enclosure - they will just impale themselves on it !
Can't feed big crickets- they will choke - or you will will find a cricket leg sticking our of their throat the next morning !! yikes
AND - if their water is too deep - they will dive in and drown-- even when there is something to climb on.

But we love them !
