Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheJuicyFruit" data-source="post: 47069" data-attributes="member: 3275">I got a new B emilia, about 3.5 inches big. I've seen him drink from his water dish four times today, and I even had to refill it because he drank almost all of it in the first couple hours. He's also doing a significant amount of climbing ( getting used to his surroundings I'd imagine ), which is pretty apparently not his strong suit.But most puzzling of all, when I first put him in, I noticed he had a very slim abdomen, so I decided to try to feed him, and he attacked the cricket with a vengeance. But after it seemed to have died, he left it on the ground, barely touched at all, and webbed it over a little. My P scrofa rarely ever leaves a leg behind, let a lone practically the full cricket. Why would he do this?While I was typing this he went back to his water dish for the fifth time..</blockquote>
