She found them on the trail, and I'm surprised she could even see them. They like to bury themselves in mud or sand and wait for insects to come by. They turned a little orange when they buried themselves in the red sand from the pet store. They were originally the color of the dirt. Hopefully their new hue won't make them an easy lunch for predators.
Simone and the other kids adored their little pets and would catch bugs and crickets for them until we finally decided these little guys were probably miserable and we decided to let them go.
Farewell little friends!
