I've been feeding mine some redbugs--- which is what I call boxelder bugs which are swarming all over the place. I scoop up handfuls and put them in a pail with a little water at the bottom so they don't escape, and pour it out in the pens.

Like little redhots LOL!! CANDY!!

This summer we've had a lack of rainwater here in New York so we put a sump pump in the creek. (It was so low we had to dig out a hole for the water to be deep enough) While carrying water from the hose to my flowers and garden my girls found out that a minnow would pop out every now and again. Instead of waiting for the next one, they would chase the one with the minnow. It gave us all a laugh every time and they learned what came from the hose.

LOL!! That's cool!! I got a little guppy tank in my yard and there was one that was dying so I pulled it out and gave it to my girls thinking they would not eat it.WRONG!! They ate it up!!
