had to share this as quite comical, my beardie drake fed for first time today on locusts which resulted in locust break for freedom, hes on the living room floor tipped locust tub over with his head right in there scoffing as many as possible while the rest hop for there life resulting in my OH screaming on the sofa and me chasing round living room cup and shoe in hand to catch them.......while drake sits nice and calm wth his head in tub  |

if a video was taken it would of qualified for youve been framed lol, drake was on the hunt this morning and caught a few stragglers although i did laugh when one jumped out the OHs handbag hehe, ive given him a few adults to keep an eye on in a sealed tub which he hugged very tight as he watched drake run around catching the relatives |

Glad its not just me then.
Rake,why not keep a couple of them in a tub. its an easy pet for your kids to have,and if they get bored of them,well your beardie will *look after* them!  |

HAHA oh dear, those can really shift too, good luck rounding them up. I had a cricket escapee it got about 2 hops away and my dog pounced on it and ate it. |

Oh man that made me laugh. I can so see it!!! The first time I used locust I went into the garden to transfer them from the tub they arrived in to their new home and it's a good job I did as I ended up dropping the lot. Thank goodness I wasn't indoors like you. |
