Well, today was feeding day for the monarchs ;). Queenie (the Cali king) took a few minutes before eating. King on the other hand hasn't eaten yet and its been about 2 hours so far. I'm not really that concerned yet, but are they nocturnal feeders? Or is it just a matter of him geting used to his environment before chowing down?

I did notice over the past week since we've had them that Queenie has been out and about her enclosure alot, whereas King settles beneath his waterdish and we haven't really seen him move, except when putting him back.

Also, another last question...should we have a seperate enlosure to feed them in, or is feeding better in the environment they're used to?
