I just got threee new Ts today!
I got one awesome 1.5" L cristatus. I also got a cute little 0.5" Usambara. And, as a freebie, I got a cute little 0.25" Puerto Rican Pygmy.
BTW, I should add that Kelly Swift rocks. He even gave me a bunch of baby crickets for the little fellows. How cool is that?
Anyway, I've got my cricket colony started, and eggs should be hatching soon (I hope).
I've never dealt with something as small as 0.25" before, so I was surprised to learn that it's very easy to feed the little critter. Tiny crickets are the perfect size for him.
And 1.5" is definitely large enough to eat store-bought crickets.
But, 0.5" seems like a tricky size. It's too small to eat store bought crickets, but (seemingly) too large to pay any attention to baby crickets. As far as I can tell, my little Usambara is the only one of the dudes who hasn't eaten yet. Of course, I could be wrong. It might be eating the baby crickets I put in his bottle, but it's hard to SEE the crickets. Even harder to see when the crickets are disappearing.
Anyway, is there an intermediate sized food I can feed a T? How about maggots? They'd seem to work, since they grow fast and are easy to raise. Anybody feed maggots to your small Ts?
Oh well, I guess I'll start some maggots going tomorrow. When they hatch, I'll let you know whether or not my T likes them.
whoami?
