I have realized that Lola is incapable of really hunting down her favorite meal-roaches- and it is Alll My Fault
You know how it starts...they hide under the paper towels, the roaches- and your beardie can't find them..so you spend a lot of time shooshing them towards your beardie so they can find them. Next thing you know.. you have this...
My beardie is so spoiled that she will not eat if:
The roaches are too far. As if there should be any chasing..hmmpff.
They roaches are too close.
The roaches must move, but not too much.
Mom must shoo roaches the way of the beardie, but Mom's hands cannot be too "there". Too many fingers, too many distractions.
There must be contrast..too much calcium and I can't see the bugs on those white paper towels.
All furniture must be removed from the viv. No hiding places for the bugs.
I don't like it when all my furniture is gone Mom. Its weird.
Holding the roaches in frot of me doesn't always work. But sometimes, it does.
Do not mist me around feeding time. I hate it. So I won't move.
If Mom takes too long to serve the meal, or there is too much fuss, I will retreat to my hammock.
Therefore I am done.
In the morning it will be all your fault that I am starving. Rinse and repeat 8)
