Hi there,

I am feeding them small brown house crickets - dusted with calcium, have been putting in 15-20 per night and making sure there are still some knocking about in there. There are still at least 4 or 5 in the bowl now.

Titch looks the same as the others - just smaller!! S/he doesn't seem as active as the other two but like I said early in the morning I have seen Titch on one of the logs and climbing in one of the other plants other than the one s/he sleeps in all day so maybe s/he is just active/eating later. To be honest as I am new to all this I don't how active they should be!!! The other two have spells of activity that we see. Yesterday Kurt came down out of the vegetation for about an hour and ate about 4 crickets then went back up to the top of the viv and stayed there till we went to bed, Syd didn't come down to the substrate but caught a couple of cricks on the cork bark - but then he was more active than the others the day before.

How active is normal - should they be out and about as soon as it gets dark and stay awake until the morning or do they potter about in fits and spurts???

Cheers

Carol
