Beetles, roly polys, and many other things are generally pets. My four year old son can probably clarify the break down into categories better than I -- and he has veto power on the food/pet classification.Hypatiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006794721285468833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13646394.post-1124835303975296532005-08-23T16:15:00.000-06:002005-08-23T16:15:00.000-06:00Just a clarification: The insects I catch are to ...Just a clarification: The insects I catch are to feed my other pets. My frog and lizards are captive bred. I collect a couple of mantids from my yard and keep them through the fall to use as "insect ambassadors" for my special tours at the arboretum where I volunteer.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011749964154446809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13646394.post-1124771590642908132005-08-22T22:33:00.000-06:002005-08-22T22:33:00.000-06:00San Nakji: The first is the worst in terms of comp...San Nakji: The first is the worst in terms of complete fear and panic. My second came along 18 months later and that was stressful. Managing a toddler and an infant is tough, especially with the worry about how your first is adjusting. So, relatively speaking three doesn't seem too bad. Now, I'm only worrying about the adoption process, which is the completely new element. I'm not nearly as worried about the whole being a parent part. ;)<BR/><BR/>Cindy: Cool! So do we. We have a fairly high rate of catch and release, but probably not as much release as my husband would like.Hypatiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006794721285468833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13646394.post-1124686727063310402005-08-21T22:58:00.000-06:002005-08-21T22:58:00.000-06:00I actually do catch live insects almost every day ...I actually do catch live insects almost every day for some of my pets, which include mantids, lizards, and a frog.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011749964154446809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13646394.post-1124673175613394162005-08-21T19:12:00.000-06:002005-08-21T19:12:00.000-06:00OMG!
