Possible Guinea Eggs in "Quail" Batch?

[Cheyen]

Here's that gecko I got. She's a young female, so she'll get to be about the size of my hand full grown. She's a great starter species (leopard gecko), and she's very neat to hold and watch eat.

you can see her brothers and sisters in the background here. The containers are for showcasing, my little lizard friend is now in a much more spacious 10 gallon tank.

what do you feed it?

 

[Cheyen]

She eats insects, and when I got her she came with a little container of a hundred or so tiny wax worms. They look a bit like maggots, but they're actually caterpillars. (they still look gross all packed in there squirming around

) my sister has been using tweezers to pick them up. I'll probably do the same, lol.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

so when those are gone will it eat worms or you gotta hatch maggots out? dont think i would want one that bad.

 

[Cheyen]

Absolutely no way am I hatching out any kind of bugs, lol. You can buy feeder crickets and mealworms for pets at pretty much any pet store. Petsmart keeps them next to the feeder fish. She doesn't have to eat just the wax worms, so when those run out I'll just switch to something else.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

LOL, ok. too bad the chickens would eat it because the coop is full of flys. talk about gross. something is getting tons of my chickens and guineas. predator unknown

 

[Cheyen]

Sorry to hear, granny. What're the bodies like? Sometimes you can narrow it down based on the crime scene.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

no crime scene at all. about 40 total gone in a week. during the day. guineas from one coop and bantams from the other. big, small, dont matter

 

[Cheyen]

40?!

That can't be one single animal!

 

[Granny Hatchet]

ya, thats a lot of something. and i see nothing . very strange
