That is very coolIt so happens that Foxy is currently on a break from insects due to his refusal to eat greens
So his locusts have turned into pets and they seem to be doing well.
Today, the happy parents had babies.

That is very cool![]()
I thought about trying breed them, but honestly it's kindda fun to go out in the desert and catch them![]()
If I remember correctly your daughter has allergies is why you got foxy? How is she with him? Does she enjoy him as much as you?I didn't plan to breed them, but my daughter gave them some soil to lay eggs in and here they are. It's a good thing that locusts don't eat their own offspring. Crickets eat eggs and small crickets if they are not removed in time.
Yes, that's right. We all have allergies, but to different allergens. I have allergies to dogs and a little to cats, my daughter has allergies to horses and dogs, my wife has allergies to cats and dogs.If I remember correctly your daughter has allergies is why you got foxy?

That's awesome. It's funny how they pick and choose. We've seen that with our beardies a lot also. If your like me I bet your secretly smug you are the one he trust for sleep. I love that mine want to be with me at bedtime.Yes, that's right. We all have allergies, but to different allergens.

And Foxy is the favorite of the whole family. He uses each of us differently. With my wife, he likes to take a bath and goes to the toilet at this time. We checked - he will never go to the toilet if I'm nearby lol. With my daughter, he likes to relax and watch anime. With me, he likes to lie down in the morning and fall asleep on me in the evening. Foxy is so used to all this that he will never do with one human what he does with another lol.
If my wife takes Foxy in the morning, he will definitely run to me to lie on my chest and watch the news.

So are you going to continue to breed the locus or is it a one off happy coincidenceYes, that's right.
I am very pleased to realize that he trusts me with his sleep!
I already have a colony of Dubias and I don't think I can properly keep another colony. I feed the colony of Dubias once every 3 days, and the locusts need to be fed 2 times a day, it's very troublesome, the locusts need a large container, temperature conditions, lighting, etc. In addition, in our city they don't sell Dubias in pet stores, and locusts are always freely available, so there is no point in breeding them in large quantities.So are you going to continue to breed the locus or is it a one off happy coincidence![]()
That makes sense to me. I had read up on breeding the locust at one point. It did seem like a lot of hassle.I already have a colony of Dubias and I don't think I can properly keep another colony.

Baby stepsAfter refusing insects for 10 days, Foxy is now interested in vegetables!
He didn't eat the whole bowl of vegetables, but he did take a piece of rodicchio from my hand, and a few slices of sweet potato. This is a big step, because before he just closed his eyes. Now he ate it like I offered him a hornworm.
Now I just need to teach him to eat it all from the bowl lol.
Thank you! I really hope so.Baby steps
You'll get there, I have faith in ya![]()
I think he'll come aroundThank you! I really hope so.
