Well my boyfriend is asleep so I can't share with him (and I called and I could tell he answered the phone but I'm pretty sure he answered as a reflex and was still asleep) But I know I've brought it up once or twice, I have a very sick and neglected leo and she's been eating a yummy (okay well it stinks to high heaven) baby food/liquid calcium/and calcium/vitamin powder for the past weeks that I've had her. Just out of curiosity I threw 2 crickets in. AND SHE CHASED THEM DOWN AND ATE THEM!!! I can't even explain how thrilled I am. I put 3 more in, AND SHE CHASED THEM DOWN AND ATE THEM TOO!!! If it wasn't almost midnight I think I'd dace, so I'll do a dance in my head. Now she threw two up at the end (she ate them all much too quickly) but since they were still alive (that's how quickly she ate them lol ) she chased them and ate them again. Mmm always good the second time around I guess. To show you the big deal about her eating, I'll post a picture of how deformed her arms are. The fact that she can move on her elbows quick enough to catch normal crickets amazed me. I didn't even have to remove their legs. Ooooh I'm thrilled! I really had to share because well everyone but me is asleep over here.
