{{{askye}}}
I could tell you what my mom would've said about buying crickets but she would want me to bleep it. I think the lizard would be dead, though.
In spirit, I'm right there with her. In practice, I have guilt to work off, because I still harbor suspicion that the death of my kids' frog was mostly my fault.
Does anyone else find it disturbing that the children have to feed live crickets to the lizard? I don't have a problem with wild creatures eating other wild creatures, or my children being taught about it. I do find this disturbing.
