Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fuzzball79" data-source="post: 38750" data-attributes="member: 3190">I've got Turkistan roaches for most of mine, bar the P.met and the B. Boehmei slings as they both don't touch them. With the P. met I thought it had eaten its roach because I couldn't find it, but when I threw a small silent cricket in this tiny red thing jumped out from a crack in the wood, grabbed the cricket and ran off with it. It is now back with the "colony" (small group really).I tried Dubia Roaches, but could only get a hold of bigger ones. The Rosea didn't touch them and let them crawl right underneath her and the Genic was in pre/post molt. It was only a group of 5 or 6, and only 2 are left (the others just died), male and female. I don't think they'll breed, but I've grown kind of attached to them, because they're a kinda cute couple, lol.I'm off larger crickets because they're noisy and they smell. We tried to keep them outside but you could hear the chirping and we were worried the neighbours would complain, lol. Then it got too cold for them. I still feed small SILENT crickets to the slings.I also feed the occasional Morio worm to my Genic but only when I know she's ravenous (which she is when she's not in pre/post molt), because I know she destroys them before they get the chance to dig. I've had that happen once and didn't know of the danger they could pose. Luckily my girl was actively hunting for it herself, found it and dug it out. As I said, always hungry.For my A. versi juve I occasionally get wax worms, but he/she eats anything that fits into his/her body.Forgot to add I also got flightless fruit flies for my tiny LP sling, but it still won't eat. it pounced, grabbed and then left them, so I assume it's definitely in premolt.</blockquote>
