Hi everyone,
I just got my little Pac-Man, Sprout, yesterday. He’s in a 45x45x45 Exo Terra, has so far eaten 2 crickets that I’ve seen, and seems to be settling in well. I just had some questions and worries that I hope I can get some advice about.
Firstly, I dropped Sprout today. I was devastated and so angry with myself, I still am! I thought it might be a good idea to move him into a little tub whilst I feed him to make it easier for him to catch the crickets, since he’s so tiny and his enclosure is quite big. He didn’t like it though so I put him back, but as I was he jumped out of my hands and fell onto the carpet, about a 4 foot drop. I picked him straight back up and he seemed okay, and chased after a few crickets in his enclosure and ate them which I was so happy about. But do you think he could be injured or I could’ve shocked/terrified him? Do you think he’ll be okay?
Another question; I wasn’t anticipating how small he’d be and prior to getting him I’d been gut loading some 1 inch crickets in preparation. He is only around an inch and a half - are these crickets too big for him? He’s eaten 2 so far, but if they’re too big I’ll go and get him some smaller ones.
Thank you so much, sorry for the long post!
