Hmmm. My Potato, as I'm sure you know, molted a week and a half ago(going from a brown potato-colour to something similiar to an adult's, and perhaps 7 inches), and yesterday I tried giving her a cockroach, which she ignored. (It was laying upside down and flipping its legs around frantically some inches away so she should have noticed it.)
Anyway, today I threw in a rather small cricket for her. It landed a few inches away from her, but she didn't react. So the crick starts getting caught in the web-carpet Potato's made, and after much struggling and investigating from the cricket Potato slowly lumbers forward and puts a foot on the crickets head. 3 seconds later - one crick down.
Having heard how piggish these things are supposed to be I throw in another one, practically on Potato. She cowers in fear and takes her dead small cricket into her corner where she spends all her time and starts to slowly digest.
Don't know if anyone had the energy to read through that, but if you did, do you think the gluttonness and ..boldness these things seem to be famous for will pick up?
She took strolls around the cage and sat in impressive positions, looking murderous, and actually oftentimes came lumbering when you did something in her cage, before she molted. Now she's a hare.
EDIT :She doesn't even seem to do the cricket dance
