Had to move my cricket tub...LOL

[CamoTheChameleon408]

Hey guys!,
I just got home to find Camo (my veiled male) sitting on his branch staring at my cricket tub outside his cage. He looked so sad...anyone would think I was starving him LoL....I just thought that was so funny that I had to share. I guess I'll have to move them out of his view so he won't feel like I'm teasing him. LoL.

I had the same problem with my meller's when I was raising mantids. I had about fifty deli cups with nearly adult mantis in the sitting on a table by the meller's new free range and they would literally leave their free range and shoot at the cups when they got close enough. MY meller's aren't nearly full grown and wouldn't have been able to eat the 4-5+inch long mantis even if they weren't in cups. It was a humorous site. I like you do not come even close to starving my guys, they are feed small increments of food daily as opposed to bigger meals every other to third day so they don't go a day without eating and they still seem to always want more. Lol. I'm glad someone else had something similar happen because i was really starting to question my feeding schedule.

My bearded dragon does that with his worms, he knows i keep them at the top of his cage so he sits and looks up at them with his sad little face, lol. Make you feel so guilty! I've toughed up and take no notice of him now but my mum is putty in his hands, he always gets around her. When i leave the room she sneaks him one out, she thinks i don't know but i've seen her do it. Haha

My chameleon Mia has only have done it once, when i left a box of locusts on top of her cage i came home to find her sitting near the box shooting her tongue at them, god knows how long she had been sitting there trying to get one.

In addition to herps I have a pair of blue crowned motmots in an indoor aviary. They are sharp-eyed and MOBILE! I have to keep finding new places for my insect bins because they hunt them out, perch on the rims, pull the lids off, and hammer on them hoping snacks will appear. I have to wonder...am I smarter than a bird or not?

My Senegal does this. I had to move my cricket container because every time I would open his cage, Peppers would make a mad dash for the outside. I finally let him roam one day to see what he was after and he went right for the glass aquarium with all the crickets inside it. He then proceeded to rub his face and tongue all over the glass until I picked him up and moved him back to the cage.

I thought it was pretty funny because he wasn't even trying to shoot his tongue, just rubbing and there was a smear mark where he had been trying to get in.

Dragons are notorious for this, both of mine go nuts when they see a cricket container too lol.
