The one that Simba left yesterday shed its skin in the feeder cup and turns out its a female, so back in the roach bin she went!
I think he filled himself up on those 2 big roaches he did eat yesterday, as he left the 3rd one like I say, and wasn't that interested in the silks this morning. He only ate 2, and a fruit grub, but they're his fave I think and he'd eat one of those even if he was full to the brim LOL!!
Speaking of fruit grubs, why MUST they burst all over the place when they are eaten?!?
LOL So funny this morning when I fed it to Simba. He came running along his branch when he saw what I had, nabbed it (burst it Ewwwww!) and had its insides ALL OVER HIS FACE!!! It was like a kid that's just eaten chocolate! Really wished I had the camera to hand. He managed to get it all off though during his little mad 5 mins which followed, where he briskly walked/near enough ran round his top branches and leaves. Gave him a little energy boost I think!!! LOL So funny to watch!
Anyway, blabbing now....back to the roaches!!
I'm hoping they're warm enough to breed. I have them on top of his mistking water reservoir which has the heater in it. That tub (and in turn the roach tub) seems to get nice n warm so hopefully its enough to persuade them to make me more roaches!! LOL
I've just been to get some locusts for Simba and while I was sorting those out and feeding the roaches, my hubby was like, bloody hell! They're better fed than we are!!! LOL
Suppose I can see what he means...looks rather nice that little lot:
Get them nice n juicy for his Tues feed
Right I'm off to bounce on the birthing ball for a bit! LOL
