Keeping Mother Happy (So she doesn't eat her babies)



Keeping Mother Happy 
So she doesn't eat her babies


B. smithi has been showing less and less interest in her eggsac. Considering how she consumed all but a handful of her young last year this concerns me greatly. Yesterday she was away from her burrow so I dropped her a hybrid roach. She took it with much enthusiasm and immediately returned to her eggsac. She enjoyed the roach while guarding her brood.

As long as she has a steady supply of roaches hopefully she won't see her eggsac as a food source.
