Be careful, too, when you offer them food. I decided to shift them to a feeding tub like I did with Ripcord when he was little to avoid losing crickets in the baby tank. They didn't like being in a new place, and when the crickets were jumping around it freaked them out, and they sort of went all lord of the flies - they were attacking each other, and me, and anything that moved. I'm feeding them individually now instead of as a group, and that's working MUCH better. Two have eaten already (one twice).

I know they're trying to be scary, but they're so cute when they go all defensive!
