[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 190623, member: 3872"] I keep a colony of B lateralis (red runners) but alternate feeders to keep things random. Unless eaten right away roaches will often lay low and hide in an enclosure, they have a strong survival instinct. Crickets on the contrary are stupid and will only stay still when noticed, and then begin moving around, which usually stimulates a feeding response. Crickets can't stay still. Occasionally I'll feed mealworms. These are best given to a hungry and attentive T or they will burrow, like dubia. Also like dubia some people crush their heads, I don't bother. Variety is the spice of life. [/QUOTE]
