baby update

jeune18 Aug 27, 2005 01:25 PM

well, i don't have any pictures but i am getting a digital camera soon! anyway, the babies are three months and 12-13 days they are getting big. i have a little cage i will stick the adults in for sunning, and it has a wire top like a bird cage, just the bars, well the little ones can't squeeze through the bars anymore! and they have discovered that they can jump really high and hang from the ceiling. i think i am going to have to get them a new cage soon.
anyway, i don't know anything about how old they need to be before they can live on sand, if i get them a new cage, are they still too young for sand? what if i splurge and get them the repti-sand, or whatever the one is with the really small particles?

I'm happy to hear the kids are growing and doing so well Vonnie!
They are so darn cute at this age, bouncing aound,

I put mine on sand at about 2 months, when they are real sure footed and good at hunting.

However, I do NOT put alot of it in, only a splattering to cover the glass, you can practically see through it.
Do this to get them used to it and its still low enough they do not get a mouthful while cricket hunting LOL.

Can't wait until you get your camera, OH you will be clickin away at everything, ehehhehe !
