Re: My monitors are stuck in transit :(

yay!!!!! my grand kids made it finally. Only took a miracle and Antinio not taking no for an answer. How often does a jet break down but they report its on time on tracking info-crazy bs. Glad they made it safe and sound after a bunch of un-assuring phone calls. My finger nails won't be the same lol. Look bright eyed and happy. Make sure to get some crix and roaches in those bellies tomorrow. Best of luck and keep us updated.

Re: My monitors are stuck in transit :(

I can't sleep cause all I can think about is, I wonder what they are doing now? It is driving my nuts to not go watch them, but I do not want to contribute to unnecessary stress... so I will wait. Oh I put a few dubia in that were med. cricket sized or a bit smaller. It blows my mind how small they are.

Even the cheapest cameras record video, go set your pocket cam up to record video, point it into the cage hit record and leave it.

A newer camera with a 32gb card in it can record almost a whole day.

Wait till you hear them digging all the time. I hear constant scratching. An adult ackie is smaller then a bearded dragon so they never get very large. I think I have pics of eggs next to a quarter. It's crazy how tiny they are.

Also if you have a little extra cash dlink makes a wifi camera that you can monitor your monitors from your computer, Mac or Win and there are apps for iPhone and Android. I set up one so my wife can keep an eye on her birds. For about 100 bucks we have color sound and night vision. The night vision is surprisingly good. The sound is not great but we can hear the birds taking. You can also zoom a little. It works through MyDlink if you want to check it out. It's a neat toy and a handy peace of mind tool.

I will look up the dlink camera now. I do have in their permanent cage 2 spots to mount my gopro camera. I am very excited to move them to the big cage but I want to be sure they are all eating and adjusting well first. They will love how big it is!

Re: My monitors are stuck in transit :(

Are they already letting you handle them a bit? They don't seem very timid at all judging by the pictures.

Re: My monitors are stuck in transit :(

The only time I have even tried to get close to them was removing them from shipping containers. But when I opened the cage this morning they all came out from hiding to see what I was doing. The smallest one of them came within 6" of my hand as I cleaned the poop spots and changed the water. None of them seemed to be intimidated by me being in there though. I gave them 4 dozen small crickets (all the pet store had) and watched for a few minutes and all 4 of them ate readily. I checked an hour later turning all logs/sticks and what not and saw only around 8-10 left. I'm glad to see them all eat!
