[QUOTE="kormath, post: 79503, member: 4199"] my larger B. albo, Missingno, used to chase crickets around his tunnel until he was rehoused. My son and I had many feeding time laughs from this. He had a burrow that was horseshoe shaped, with 2 openings in the substrate near each other and it was up against the side of the amac box so you could see him the whole time. The lateralis roach and he would do laps through that tunnel, until one got turned around and the roach became food, or the roach fooled him. Sometimes the roach would run up the tunnel then across the substrate and not go down in the other side, but to a corner or the water dish. Missingno would make the loop and stop near the bottom. I think he then realized he had been duped, then he'd come up one side or the other and wander around the enclosure until he spooked the roach. Then he'd eat or they'd wind up in the horseshoe loop again. This is another reason lateralis are my favorite feeders :) [/QUOTE]
