Smokey doesn't run away when she escapes - I guess she knows it's easier to get food in the cage than search for it.... Bsteph, how about a 'roach? Not fussy about what they eat, you hardly notice they're around and they do a neat vanishing trick when you put the light on for hours of amusement?!? (And I've been led to believe they are actually very clean as far as insects go...) Hmmm...must do a search on how & where to find them...make interesting macro shot material!
