So I'm looking after a friend's bearded dragon while she's on holiday. She merrily dropped him off with a BAG OF 100 LOCUSTS with instructions to feed him 6 per day. I was expecting the locusts, but thought they would be in small containers which I could just upend into the vivarium (terrarium?). How wrong I was.
We've managed over the weekend, but it's creeping me out. I took the bag to the local pet shop and told the owner I would pay him to put them into containers for me! Alas, he misunderstood (though he didn't charge me!) and I now have two small containers with about 40 locusts in them each. I was too embarrassed to fess up and say I wanted 10 containers with 6 locusts in each.
Anyway, what can I do?? If I chill the containers, will the locusts get a bit comatose? Or should I just go to another pet shop and be more explicit about what I want?
I know I'm a wuss.
