Koby so far has only eaten once since he arrived, he dug up the Dubai a day or so after we gave it to him.Marley eats similar to Redrum but is a bit more picky.  He devours the Dubai's if he can catch them before they burrow.  He totally loves the large crickets though, I've seen him run half way across the enclosure to snag the cricket before it has time to move.  The last time we fed him crickets it was like he was a linebacker in football.  He charged it, hit it, wrapped it up with his legs, and rolled completely over with it.  My son was trying to get a picture of him eating but it happened so fast he totally forgot and just stood there, then looked at me and said "Did you see that!" with these big open eyes lol.</blockquote>
