Just a quick doodle to sum up this week: 
Lynx and Paint
I was pretty damn bad yesterday...surprisingly a little better today? At least after some things, although again, still got worries and all, mostly about getting her food...
Lynx and Paint
new shipment of crickets doesn't come until Wednesday, and that appears to be going roughly because the lady who runs the business locally apparently had a family emergency, so the usual receipt has not gone out...
Lynx and Paint
so thinking about calling pet stores to see if they have baby crickets in case I run out before Wednesday...
Lynx and Paint
and just aaauguguhh health woes
Lynx and Paint
I can't believe it'll have been a week since I got her on Saturday
GGnuary
Pet stores are going to have crickets
GGnuary
I promise

DEEP HEALING BREATH
Lynx and Paint
my main concern is if they're 1) live, and 2) baby crickets
Lynx and Paint
the adult crickets are too big for her to eat, and I've noticed she ignores dead ones mostly...
GGnuary
They don't sell dead crickets generally
Lynx and Paint
TAKING DEEEEEP BREATHS
Lynx and Paint
I've seen some stores sell them in cans?
Lynx and Paint
like freeze-dried ones
GGnuary
Oh, well I'm sure that's an option, but every pet store basically ever also has live crickets for reptiles
Lynx and Paint
okay good! Crossing fingers that the closest one by the Staples has them, then!

I'm still getting used to trying to keep those things all together too, and sheesh a lot of 'em seem to have died or just...gotten shredded or something
GGnuary
Petco's website says they have "variety of sizes, from pinhead to adult" live crickets <3
GGnuary
idk what stores they have up there but worry not, live crickets for reptiles are a very common item
Lynx and Paint
hmm we don't have PetCo here, looks like?
Lynx and Paint
but there is PetSmart and Tisol
GGnuary
Petsmart will definitely have them
GGnuary
We had geckos for years and my mom was always able to get crickets for them.
GGnuary
If you're lucky you will have an employee at the Petsmart who knows all about reptiles too. (We get fish at Petco because the one near us has a bunch of good aquarium folks who know their stuff.)
Lynx and Paint
oooh okay good, there is a nearby PetSmart over at Metrotown
Lynx and Paint
that's walking distance, yay
Lynx and Paint
but yeah I'll still call this weekend. I've got some crickets left, I just don't know that it's enough until Wednesday
xaris
Lynx omg you are precious
Ptriciadactyl
most pet stores around here ask when I go in whether I want small crickets or large ones
Ptriciadactyl
hopefully yours will too
Lynx and Paint
I did go and get more crickets at the PetSmart, but I'm kinda worried that they're still too big for her D:
Lynx and Paint
I guess I'll see come feeding time tomorrow, but yeah, they're quite a bit bigger than the two-week-olds I'd ordered
