I am so fed up with crickets. I only have eight Ts, but I spend about $2 a week on crickets. I guess that's not too bad, but still. I'd love to get a lizard or frog or something, but can't stand having crickets around all the time. The chirping drives me batty.
For the past few nights, I've been hearing a single cricket chirping, but couldn't find it. Well, my mom found it, she woke me up this morning so I could take care of it. It was hiding in the cat box. Ugh. At least he's gone now.
So I used that moment as an opportunity to tell my mom that the species of roaches kept as feeders cannot survive in normal household conditions. Didn't work.
I suppose I could be sneaky and just go ahead and start a roach colony without her knowing about it... But a stunt like that might get me thrown out of the house.
I know there are a million threads about "how can i convince my parents to let me breed roaches?", but I've tried everything there, and nothing works. Am I really doomed to have to deal with crickets forever (or at least until I move out)?
