Day Seven Project Baby Mot Mot

June 30

Hoople’s appetite seems to be changing. He is eating fewer meal worms—loves the mango—although I am reluctant to let him have too much. I’ve been coaching him along with mango soaked worms to peck at. Today we found he loves earthworms and even ate a cricket! I should note the food is live, and he is learning to hit it on the floor to stun/kill it? He takes water from a dropper, especially in the heat. 

Today he is very interested in his surroundings—pecking at his “tunnel“ and the floor, as if looking for food.
