Message: <blockquote data-quote="VanessaS" data-source="post: 77245" data-attributes="member: 4948">Is it possible for a large cricket to still be alive, a bit, after being partially consumed?I gave Evelyn a large cricket last night, which she jumped on, but when I checked on her this morning the cricket was in her water dish and still moving around.  I thought, at first, that it was just movement caused by the water, but on closer inspection the cricket was still alive. The cricket looked deflated, but the legs and head were still very much intact.I was really happy that she took him last night, but now I am not so happy. I want to think that she ate some of him, and this is just some gruesome fluke that he was still alive, but I'm not so sure.Evelyn seems like she has more energy this morning, but I don't know. I just don't want to give up on her yet.[ATTACH=full]16104[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
