OMG, I knocked one of the babies for a loop tonight at cricket time!



We like to use feeding tubs, but these little guys have gone through so much, we gave in and are feeding them 10am , 2:30pm and 6pm their crickets in their outside reptariums, then they come in for the night to heat lamps for 2 hours.



We had them inside and I was just zipping them up when I saw a cricket climbing the side of the tank, so I flicked it with my finger at the same time a baby came running from the side wall for it and although I did not flick him, he went flying through the air feet over head rolls, from the "trampoline effect" of the mesh and landed on the mesh/papertoweled floor feet first... I was so shocked my mouth was hanging open!



The baby hit the floor running and caught his flying cricket, turned around and looked at me like "what the heck was that for mom, I'm only eating MY cricket" !!! I felt so terrible!



I was still in shock saying OMG, I'm sorry, I'm sorry and Axe was honestly on the floor in the lanai, rolled up in a ball laughing so hard he was crying and pulled a muscle in his back!
