My husband's into fish, so he frequents the local aquarium shops. I'll go with him next time and see what they say. I'll keep you posted.

when you go, snatch up a rock and some slime and some water. Always easier to identify if you have the item in hand.

Oh I just knew you were gonna say that.

Ok fine, I'll touch the disgusting slime again; but this the last time!

it may be some sort of odd algae, but who knows.

I would put in 3 or 4 crickets every other day and she would eat maybe 1 or 2, if that. Sometimes none at all. At least now she's going for them right away, she just has no aim whatsoever.

If you put her in a smaller space with the food, her aim should improve some... At least the food shouldn't be able to get away as easily if they are in a smaller space.

you could always pull the legs off the crickets

Have you tried other not so fast moving things to eat, like small meal worms?

**fire2225ems** · #38 10-13-2007, 12:15 AM

or freeze dried crickets?

I had always heard that meal worms were bad for them, and she wouldn't touch the wax worms I got her. But then again, I had never seen a wax worm and didn't know they weren't supposed to be black...I've got some wax worms and phoenix worms ordered and they're supposed to arrive tomorrow, so I'll try those.

I videoed Chubby stalking a cricket tonight. It was cool!

Do you by some chance have peices of wood in the water? If driftwood or wood in general is not completely cured out it will produce a slimy feeling substance such as you are describing.
