weird little critters .
i didnt really 'get em' they seemed like an odd idea for a pet .

Welll i was reading up about them xD their way of feeding is rather gross xD i personally would not like my insides sucked out while i was alive o.o.... But they are completely adorable looking lol. Seem rather unusual xD and the only ones i can fine for sale are wc << sooo unsure on whether to get them or not.

Well I wouldn't wanna handle them lol. A bit odd for me but I admire them, used to have one but never handled it. Had to sell it in the end, but I can't remember why, I was about 8 then. =/

No, they gave me the keys to their house and I fed it in their house whilst they moved it in there. I didn't have to feed his BD though. Wonder why?
