I was worried that they'd be old enough, don't want upset tummies. They attacked them and gobbled them. Then looked for more.  Susan |

LOL! Susan, if you want to see something funny, when they get a little bit older, pick up a bag of crickets from the bait shop for them. Dave used to bring our girls crickets just because he liked to stand there with them all gathered at his feet and then watch the frenzy.  |

If all they've ever had was commercial feed, bugs would be foreign to them. |

I think I've got Mike interested in vermiculture as a way to supplement their food. It also makes great stuff to build up the soil.
