I did it!!

I fed Amy and Tommy a silk moth each this morning! I figured that it would be a shame to waste them after they have laid their eggs, so I 'manned up' and fed two off! Yay me! I think I'm over the cuteness now, lol! I still couldn't feed off the cute one that was washing it's antennae though - that would be mean!

That is just too funny Tiff!!! Don't the chams get so excited when they see the moths??? They always look at me like "so are there anymore??" I aggree. Can't waste good food

Amy gets excited whenever I go near her viv in case I have food. She loved her moth (she's just a dustbin, lol). I had to hold Tommy's up by a wing so it fluttered. He's a bit slow on the uptake, bless him! I didn't think he would eat it, but he did!

My silkie eggs have turned purple/grey apart for the odd one or two. Are these fertile do you think?

Tiff where are the pictures? I would love to see Amy chowing down on a silk moth. Franie sent me some silk cocoons and I check them several times a day, I can't wait to see the moths. After the pictures you posted I have always wanted to see one.

I didn't have time to take pics, lol! Amy sucked her's up way too fast, lol! The moths usually hatch in the mornings - mine were just there when I got up one day and then a couple more the next! Be prepared for some serious cuteness, lol! Then you'll understand why I couldn't feed Moffy to anybody! What really tickles me is the way they wash their antennae like a cat washes behind it's ears, lol! Just far too cute!

Nah! The one in my avatar is Moffy, my very first one! He lived a natural life and wasn't eaten - he was a pet and in my house I say 'you don't eat family!' Lol! I just couldn't do it!
