I would love to get some of these,,,not a communal though. Cant wait for more info on this setup would love to know how it goes....maybe we can start our own communalYeah, but whether as large as they are at this point (vs. being slings) affects how they get along when introduced to the same enclosure has yet to be seen...Thats a freakin great deal on the price!!
are you going to chill them before introduction? are you going to seperate them if one gets a little hungry?
I have thought this soo many times....hehe,
To be honest, I'd probably be wise to chill them first. It goes against my sense of fair play (I'd never do it before handling), but I don't need multiple escapees. I can't feed them before putting them in--opening a deli cup enough to insert a cricket is an invitation to make a break for it. I think my plan will be to line the deli cups next to one another in the enclosure in front of the opening doors. I'll then pop each lid open enough that the Ts can leave them on their own time. By having the deli cups near the doors they should be easier to remove once the Ts are elsewhere. Yes, if war breaks out I will attempt to separate them. For my sake I'm hoping this won't happen.
In all reality, my parents have told me I can choose a Christmas present for myself that costs up to $100. You know what I've been thinking...I suppose if it doesn't work quite right you can try to find some smaller ones to start with and just get more of these guys. I mean, you already have 8, whats half a dozen more??
