Lolly
Food: 13-15 crickets
Toilet: Not sure
Behaviour: Lolly was not interested in eating in the feeding tray again today. She's still happy enough being handled, which I did a few times today to reinforce the concept for her. However, I popped her back in the den and promptly put a few crickets in front of her. She then proceeded to eat everything I dropped in! Later on I also saw literally hunting down a stray cricket. It was fantastic to watch. She looked almost like a big cat stalking its prey.
Nothing from the salad bar appears to have been eaten again today.
Booster
Food: 6-10 crickets
Toilet: Not sure
Booster: Good to see Booster eating crickets again today. No salad bar action, but it's still the time of a young Beardie's life where they should be smashing down as many little insects as possible. So a good day food wise.
Booster and Lolly seem to be getting on quite well. Booster in particular has taken to lying most of the day in the mid section of the den half way up the log. Probably in defference to Lolly having the prime position a little further up. But Lolly was hand waving today, so it is still not decided who is the top dog as it were.
Crickets
Breeding colony is chirping away and the heat mat appears to be keeping things fairly warm. I think I saw some eggs in the nesting bowl, but, time will tell for sure. I will leave the initial bowl in there for three days before replacing it. From there it will be probably 3 weeks before anything hatches, assuming anything does!
