Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

[kibakiba]

Mine are just pudgy, and a couple have bones that were fused together when I was a kid, they are also sausagey. And wide. And big... Haha.

No. Chorus frogs and sallies are mine! I love them! And I have my 3 little chorus frogs, but I'd have 20 if I could feed them all! I go through 50 dollars of crickets every month, literally, just for my little froggums. Of course, pinheads like to munch on each other if you don't give them enough fruit and powdered food.

LOL What I really meant to write in reply to this... before I got side tracked with frogs...

What I do for my Crickets is I have a 'Critter Keeper' that has just a little Eco Earth in the bottom, then have LOTS of egg cartons and toilet paper rolls with holes half cut in them, then fold the half cut circle inside... I'll post a picture in a minute to better portray what I mean. I can keep 50 crickets alive with out too many eating each other if they have lots of 'floor' space. (Really they are quite crammed in there but SHH don't tell them that)

Oh and I just feed finely crushed dog food, carrot peelings, lettuce bits. I use water gel for them or I mist the paper towel tube and the sides of the tank. It is kinda cute seeing them drink the water drops off the side.



... Wow I am long winded today ain't I?

[kibakiba]

That's okay, long winded posts are fun to read, when my dyslexia isn't making me see weird words.

I wanted to get a 5 gallon tank and make a fine mesh top, to breed them but they are evil. I haven't found any where I get my yarn... they usually have at least 3 5-20 gallon tanks for 10 ish dollars. I give them protein and calcium food, and fruit bits when I eat it. I also use water gel.

Ha, I am very lysdexia, dyslexia, as well! You would probably be able to read what I write without spell check. :P But, my mind also runs faster then my fingers can keep up so I end up combining words like a sectance << non edited my fingers got the first bit of a word and the last bit, I guess my figers don't like thiddle <<< un edited as well The + Middle = Thiddle. hmm new language .. Ithink so. Ha ... I'm lost. Good night yall.

Richard...we don't really want to hear about your foot fetish right now.

There are quotation marks there ya know.

But that's one of my favorite moments from that movie. "What can I say... I like feet" LoL. Hilarious.

[ConcinusMan]

Ship them frogs n salamanders over here! I'll take them!

How would you like them? Boiled, fried, or frozen? Actually, the only hope of them arriving fresh, even if shipped overnight, is if they are shipped live in a blown up bag like crickets come in. If you don't freeze them alive, and keep them frozen until ready to serve, they rot and turn to goo in a matter of hours.

Yes, crickets have enormous appetites. That even goes for adult crickets. If they run out of food for just a few hours, they go all "Donner party" on each other but they don't bother to wait for the other crickets to die, they start munching on the crickets that are in the process of shedding and helpless. I always count crickets when I feed them to my herps, and count how many get eaten. Any left behind can do some serious damage as they munch on your lizard or amphibian. Jaws of steel.

Got a joke for you: "Two dyslexics walk into a bra..."

You see, it's all good. Even "normal" people know how it should read. My 8yr old niece read that line out loud but she said "dylexis" and "bar". Close enough.

Me too! I have duck feet...it's so hard to find heels and flats that fit properly!

Ditto. Narrow heel, too wide from there forward. Just like a duck. Must be from all those years of stomping around this god forsaken never ending 9 month rain storm that is the Pacific Northwest. Buying shoes is a PITA, or foot, however you want to look at it.

Richard... I am very offended by sith ydlsexia joke. How dare you. I also have read that joke many times... And most of the time I see the "bra" part as "bar" or "rab".
I'm good at anagrams, since most of the time I see things jumbled anyways, so I have learned to read things the way they're supposed to be. If I know the letter that is first, everything else just gets read as the non jumbled word.

I just use tweezers with my crickets. I occasionally shove the tweezers through them on accident, but I just stick it in front of the frogs and they grab it butt first and rip the heads off with their little fingers.

[ConcinusMan]

Mmmmm.... now I'm hungry.

[kibakiba]

Two large orders of fried cricket guts for the creepy guy with lots of concinnus knowledge!

[ConcinusMan]

I'll take them slightly rancid and in the dark. Just slide them under the door while I make gurgling, growling sounds.
