Hi Eve-

So yeah....these crickets are huge and scary and they chirp! My mom is yelling!!!!!! Gross!!!!!!!!

Becca

Well gee Becca, did you not ever hear crickets outside? LOL

What did ya think yours would be respectful of your Mom's peice and quiet, hahhahahahhahahah I'm sorry, I could not help myself!!!

The important question is this >>>>> Do Bam Bam and Pebbles like the bigger ones? I have to know now !

Eve

Yes they both ate them. Pebbles tended to eat the ones that were a little bit smaller. I'm a bit worried thought because Bam Bam tried to rip one from her mouth and actually got a piece of cricket.....why does he have to be so aggressive? She seems pretty tough though considering she is smaller than him....as long as she is eating enough should I worry???

becca

some still try to steal it right out of the others mouth. Or have a tug of war until bug breaks.

I think some just get very excited when chasing or seeing their food.
A few of my guys get very excited seeing the bigger crickets, especially the wild caught lizards.

I would not worry unless he started chewing on her, then it would be time to yank her out. But you have not, thank God had that happen.

When you feed just throw a couple bugs his way and put her over the other side and give her, hers !

Eve

LOL I have only had one minor injury....she scratched him when he tried to steal her food. She's a tough cookie!
