Fed too many crickets. 23 May 0600-0630 Watch. 6 Feedings. 5 by Terry. 4 of the Feedings went to a particular baby. Only one baby is Fed per visit. The babies are hungry and Fighting. (I've been Feeding every night) 24 May 1400 Added FRSR baby = G = + = 46.2 (Fed em this am) P = 1 = 49.2 + died - = = 44.5 + died I was storing crickets in a log 25 May Rain. Inside of box was wet. Feed by hand 26 May More rain. Babies damp. Hand Fed. However, when I put crickets in the bowl, Terry took one to the kids immediately! 27 May 0615 Found P baby dead in middle of box. The other 2 were Fine at the back of the box. It seems they are only willing to brood there (or maybe it's a majority thing). See if brood reduction is more prevalent in horizontal holes (eg LAZ 85)
