Ahhh! Someone stole my mealies!!

ChuUtena Mar 20, 2004 09:24 PM

So I come home from a nice 6 hour shift of doing nothing tonight. I know I only have about 5 or 6 supers left, but I was positive I had like at least one container of 24 mighty mealies. So I feed the left of the supers, and go downstairs to get the mealies out of the fridge. And I have none! It's 10pm so it's to late to go buy some. But I could have sworn that I had a few containers of mealies. They're gone!! AHHH! I feed crickets every other night, but I guess they're going to get some again tonight! I sure hate running out of food, but I really thought I had some. I wonder what happened to them. With my luck, my mom probably threw them away accidentaly. Oh the fun of still living at home. Yeah I guess I just wanted to ramble. I wish we had like a chat room so I could just talk to fellow geckoheads when I feel like rambling. Oh well if anyone is online and is bored, my aim name is chuutena@mac.com yes the whole thing. My email addy is my name, very fun. Well I'm leaving now...bye!

I ordered 600 mealies and put 300 in my gutload. The other 300 i left in their deli cups and put them in the top of my closet. The cups were still in the box they were shipped in. I come home a week later and there are hundreds of mealies all over my room. The chewed holes in the tops of the deli cups and escaped. They were everywhere. From the top of the closet to my floor and everywhere in between. Including clothes in the closet and my bed. Had to move everything out of my room, tv, desk, computer, bed, and all kinds of other stuff. Had to stay home from work and clean up mealworms, lol. Its funny now that i think about it but it sucked then.

I've had some of my supers get out, nothing to the degree that you did. I woke up one morning and my mom said that the lid was off one of my containers. So far I've found just 3 randomly around my bedroom. One of them my mom found. She said that she walked out of her bedroom and my cat was staring at something on the wall. So she walked over and on the wall was crawling up the wall. It's great. And I found another one on my floor this morning. Crazy worms!
