zico's mum Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 think there may be some Terrier there then,we spent an hour and a half in the park afterwards - was going to stay on the beach but the wind whipped up the sand too much - not very pleasant.

I was thinking about you when I was driving home - the weather did go downhill a bit!!! bethk - um, mainly I just guess lol. The herbiverous ones just get on with it, I never know exactly how many of those I have, but the ones that eat livefood are usually kept on their own so they are easy to keep track of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpions and tarantulas have roaches, locusts, crickets, fruit flies, waxworms, depending on how big they are. Mantids have flightless fruit flies or waxworms, depending on what size they are. Snails, roaches, millipedes and beetles have fruit and veg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
