| Well, That's reassuring then  I got two from Virginia Cheeseman (they arrive tomorrow). She says they're just over 1cm, and that I can keep them in the cups that she'll mail them in. Stocked up on micro crickets so I'm all ready. Any idea how much/often I should feed them? | |

| Up to you... I fed mine every few days, and it grew very fast. I kept my P.cambridgei at about 80 - 85 (I would say) and it seemed to go through food pretty fast. | |

| They've arrived Tiny, scuttling, fast little things! So cute though! I've set them up in tall tupperware containers from Tesco which I think will be good homes for the next couple of months, so I'll put in a small cricket in a few days and see how we go. The containers came out really great once I drilled some small ventilation holes in the sides and the lid : No 1  No 2

I have simmilar containers from morrisons that I use for young scorpions & juvie T's.

| Yeah know what people meant about 'teleporting' now! When they arrived at the office this morning I needed to check that they were ok, so I took the lid of one of the boxes they came in and it was half way up my arm in the blink of an eye! Good job noone noticed...  But I learn fast. When I was moving them into their new homes I did it on a large empty table so that I had enough time and space to cover them with a glass if they bolted | |
