Primordial Ooze

Hey, I want to make something clear. I am not obsessing about our new pet, Cricket the Bearded Dragon (Photoset, Slideshow, RSS 2.0, Atom). I simply have something new to say about the cute little bugger.

Today we fed him grubs! Supposedly they are rich in healthy fats and protein and they are rumored to keep in the refrigerator for about a week. They hibernate, in theory. We started off with 5 in a little plastic container and two days later one of the five turned brown. I can only assume he’ll never make it into Cricket’s mouth.

The others were good sports. When they warmed up they started moving around in a little dance which Cricket took immediate note of. Gulp. No more grubs.

They look pretty disgusting, almost like maggots except maggots are way more disgusting. I know that you want to click that link. Go ahead. Here they are:

Here is a nice action shot of Cricket about to pounce on one of the pudgy buggers:
