Milo's Molting Again!

Well, okay, medium crickets weren't the problem.

He really was working up to holy-crap-another-molt.

This morning, I found that he'd dug out, and webbed down, a concave saucer in his container. He's on his back now, working through a process that sheds not just his skin, but also his teeth and lungs.

Bugs is weird.

Milo and the Lesser Crickets

Once back from my trip, I threw a "medium" cricket into Milo's larger box.

Not only did he not eat it, but the cricket molted before weakly hopping about a few days more.

I've put Milo back in the smaller box, with small crickets. However, as he hasn't eaten these yet, either, perhaps this was premature, and he is refusing food as a preparation to molt--again! Yay!

We'll see what happens...
