Cool vid feeding time is cool to watch still amazes me the speed they have

Thanks, and yep the speed is amazing. Always makes me wary when I go in to get the water bowl. If she really wanted to tag me, I wouldn't stand a chance.

Well that's a bit scary! I've never seen the speed of ours feed because she's always in her burrow when she does it

Fast aren't they. I love how in this video she just casually plods around to greet the cricket as if to say "well hello there"

As for a burrow, she has never attempted to make one, never even done any digging (not even at moult time). Just seems happy living out in the open like that (not that I'm complaining LOL).

It's incredible how accurate they are at that speed!

Tell me about it, wouldn't want my hand to be in the wrong place at the wrong time with this one.
