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  |

| 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. |
