I saw that Keefy!


As to the aquarium being "full" ... it has 5 crickets in it. I got it off the curb from two houses down, their gecko had died.
Crickets are omnivores... a movie in the making ...." Attack of the Chirpers" .... and they sang as they ate. Geoff should sleep with one eye open now

Doesn't he always sleep that way?

I like the fact it has been gleaned - perhaps their cat got the gecko?

Cats are nice Keith.
Foxes are nice too, but only with a touch of Raseberry jam.

Hi Ryan

Amazing how that one managed to catch 40 winks in the chook shed of all places, so much so someone was able do dab that raspberry jam on him.

As for the other furry cuddly critters, Andrew. Perhaps Sally can pop into the noxious pet shop to grab one for him to rub against his face.

When he visited here he couldn't wait to see some of our indigenous wildlife.

I think Geoff's next pet will be one of these :

Will take care of those crickets in no time .

During Summer , they patrol up and down the fence here , seeking out bunnies . I've been startled a few times as they are difficult to spot in the scrub as I walk up to the letterbox ... worse than joe blakes .. you normally hear them before making eye contact ...

We have agricultural pesticides that do wonders on crickets. If you're not careful they'll work on lots of critters you'd like to keep around too.
As you can see in the pic, crickets tend to get to be a nuisance around here at times.

So you'll be left with just one goanna. Sort of reminds me of an old Warner Bros cartoon (I think starring Sylvester the cat) which started with a mouse, then a cat was needed and wound up with an elephant which then needed a mouse to remove it. Perpetual motion.
