Crickets... chirping... loudly
Many of you know that my sons’ room now sports a Bearded Dragon we have affectionately named Cricket, a name we picked in honor of his favorite food.
We recently moved up from baby crickets to medium-sized crickets. The larger crickets are a heartier meal, having more juicy goodness under that hard crunchy carapace. However these buggers are also more mature so they chirp. Loudly.
If you click on the link below you will hear what my kids are sleeping through for the past week. I suspect it is just a single cricket. I noticed that one of the crickets is different from the rest, it looks like it has wings or something. Perhaps this is my suspect? If I can narrow down the type of cricket making the noise, assuming it looks different from the rest, and recognize his “kind” in the future, I’ll make sure I feed him to Cricket first!
(This file is slightly modified. I reduced background noise and cut out a lot of the clanking noise I was making as I shifted around.)
