Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eighth Eye Blind" data-source="post: 240129" data-attributes="member: 49683">This is Rosalind. She's a cold-hearted T. Whenever I give her a dubia she doesn't immediately eat it. Instead, she just runs over and puts a foot on top of it. This literally paralyzes the poor roach with fear. She'll then stand there like that for three or four hours just letting the roach suffer through the psychological agony of knowing what's coming but not being able to do anything about it. Sometimes she'll even let them go and allow them to crawl away a couple of centimeters before freezing them with the foot trick again.Nature can be cruel . . . especially if you're low on the food chain.[ATTACH=full]76759[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
