Erin, Kendra, and I brought the little guys home yesterday. The habitat was immediately set up.
Oatmeal. With potatoes for food and moisture.
(I had an old fish tank so we put them in there)
Almost immediately when I put them in they burrowed underneath the oatmeal. A few made their way over to the potatoes. I thought Ike got stuck on top of one:
But don't worry! He got down all by himself!
This all happened yesterday. When I went to check on them today I thought they were all dead! There was no movement! I picked one up. Yup. Dead. Poor Sike. I tried another. Pike was still alive. But barely. I wonder if they need more moisture? I cut up some more potato and put it around the tank. We'll see tomorrow if that was successful.
They are also shedding their skins. A lot of dead worm skins were on top of the oatmeal today.
Other notes: They are very tiny and white. Their head end is little bit darker, and they have teeny tiny little legs towards that end.
