Why do feeder insects want to escape?

[viper69]

Hello guys, sorry for my English. I want to ask why they try to escape? maybe they don't like their enclosure? maybe for example crickets aren't social animals? some entomology can answer me? thanks

Yeah, really odd observation on that one, I don't think anyone can figure that out.

yes I ask that because I'm not veg but I was feeling very sorry for my crickets, and Chanda really hit the point, she literally calm me down

It's not just feeders... Have you ever owned a dog or cat that didn't try to escape ? Never mind animals, how long were you stuck in your place during a COVID lock down until you tried to escape from your own place ?

no and neither some meat anyway, I couldn't understand how u don't feel sorry for them, but now I have reached the conclusion that they feel better than the meat we eat

I see now. I thought maybe you were or thought you were . I read your first post, and surely you MUST know every prisoner wants to escape . But if you aren't sure, just have someone lock you up for all time, let us know if you want to escape too.

ok but insects don't know they are prisoners, so I think it isn't cruel to keep them... at least until when I feed my ts

They know they are in an enclosed space, that to me is a prisoner.

No, but my date last night was about as interesting as an artichoke.
