Go honey badger!

They make them big where I come from too, the Giant Weta

Cool theme for a 58043!

I've got babies yey!
4 so far & they're tiny....

What are you feeding them, just "anything"?

Privet & a bit of potato leaf at the mo - they're supposed to eat deadly nightshade, potato, anything in that family, but apparently they'll eat privet too & that's easier to come by at this time of year.
Most caterpillars are fussy eaters & most varieties will only eat certain plants, in some cases only the plant they hatched on.
We'll see... I've got a couple of small privet plants, & also just sprouted a potato plant in the kitchen. If they won't eat that, I'll try them on sausages.... (Hoping they'll be ok on privet though!)

Has a bit of a wiggly issue at the weekend, a bit later on...
Initially, I'd only put half of the eggs in the incubator, in case I did something wrong & murdered them _ I was told they had to be kept at 78F & 90% humidity to hatch, so half went into the incubator, whilst the other half stayed in the packaging, in the relative cold, on the coffee table.
Later that night, all the eggs in the incubator had hatched. Don't know why, but I decided to have a quick look at the ones on the coffee table.... er....
There's now 14 of them!
Gave up trying to name them, all we could come up with was Mr Wiggly, fluffy, Boris & Dave....

That reminds of ...

1 - someone I knew had 3 cats, they were called Puss, Puss, and Fred

2 - how one of my 2 male pet mice looked a bit fat and unwell one evening ... and delivered 10 babies overnight I can't remember what the 2 mice were called, or what we called the baies ... must have been around 1976/77 & I've forgotten

Not a fan of pet-naming, you always look back & think, why on earth would I call him/her that?! We used to have 2 cats called Leia & Ben (After watching star wars).
Anyway, "oi" seems to work just as well as any name
