They bath in the water dish

Yesterday Terry didn't seem to eat as much as usual and now I have discovered that Steve is larger than Terry, but when I got them Terry was larger and they have both grown larger.

But today Terry is eating a lot and a lot. She is eating more than Steve even, and because we don't have small crickets, I just snap the larger ones in half. Because the abdomen is a little too big, I just put it in between my fingers and then I offer it too them. I have a tug a war with them and they they have to snap a bit off and I give the little bit left to the other one.

Today I built them a hide box out of a Koala Crisp box that I had finished this morning. I cut two little holes in the side and they like to run in them. I put a hole in the top and they come in and out of it and then I put a second layer on so they could sit up there and get more UV light.

I put a water dish in, because they need water. Before that they were too little to have a water dish because they would drown in it. And now they like to lie down in it and bath in it and today I saw them cuddling each other in the water dish. They go in the water dish to cool down because it is nice and cool and they like the water in there. After they have been in the water they go back into the heat to warm up.

Now Ollie, here is the answer to your question. I didn't realise the plate had exploded. Mummy told me but I didn't hear and later I looked in the microwave and found that it had exploded and the food was completely black.
