Hi all,

Feeding my emp tonight, noticed he has problems catching the crix.... they are the brown ones a pretty springy. Should I worry about it or just leave him to it? On the assumption that he'll catch them at on point or another?

Thanks

pull off their back legs and squish them really gently a few times this measn they cant jump and are a bit less active due to being squished

ewww.
Chuck 'em in the fridge for a while before throwing them in. Much slower.
I fed my emps blacks, they are slower and less jumpy anyway. They never chased their crix, just sat there and waited for them to pass.
That or use tongs/tweezers and hand feed.
My emps would even eat dead crickets, they are not fussy, so stationary cold crickets were fine.

I've left 3 in there, will see whats left in the morning. And look at the situation then. Are they fussed on size of crix?
