haha so i wanted a video of hopefully the trio in the enclosure, but i only caught two of them out and about. here's the two i believe its the 2 that have really taken a liking to eachother (they spend a lot of time together, eating together, hiding together, etc)

yes im hoping they grow out of it as they grow up. not the best captives but certainly neat to look at and observe. they always run and hide when i come close to the enclosure still havent figured out im the food guy yet.

I think they should come around, I've seen videos of healthy melinus that would come right out of their cages. Just wait, they'll get bolder with size.

hopefully we get to that point. they dont partake in hand feeding still and its been ~6 months. and they prefer mice over roaches. often they just ignore the roaches. i dont do a lot of hands on with them though im planning on breeding
