This morning's video. I was lying in bed this morning thinking really, what else is there to video for this blog? They're babies, they eat, the parents eat. Well, at least people can see how they're getting bigger. And then there was this morning, and The Battle. (note the parental abuse. Hair pulling, even!)(also please note that if the video window is black on your screen, it still plays if you click on it - at least it does on mine.)Also of possible interest - this is a two minute video, and I missed several seconds of the battle taking pictures of it. I'm pretty sure it's Teenie who finally got the worm. As I was typing up this post, the male came back with another folded up worm and dropped it straight into Jacques' mouth, but Jacques dropped it and so Gilles or Frank got it. Based on the small size of the fecal sac that Gilles immediately produced, I'd say Gilles was due for food, although that may just be me trying to see equity and fairness in the cruel cruel world :)
Last thing I have to say about fecal sacs, I promise - they eliminate immediately after they've eaten. I find that ...say it with me ...fascinating. Also convenient, and wow, do I wish *I* worked like that.

That was fascinating! :)
I wonder why she didn't just go get another worm? Maybe worm hunting isn't as easy as one would think.
Also, I am surprised that they are eating whole worms. I thought mama would be regurgitating still.
I love how the Mom looks around like she realizes she gave the worm to the wrong baby. See how she looks from one to the other and back?
