Leslie you are so kind!!!! No, I'm STILL a nervous wreck!! I'm practically LIVING upstairs in the spare room, I'm spending so much time checking on my babies! One of them late this afternoon had the runny diarehea, so I figured it's close to pupating time. I had one stick in the cage already, but I decided I'd better get some more, so I ran down to my herb garden, and when I got back upstairs, that cat had left his little area. There were others roaming around the cage, so then I wasn't sure which was the one that should be close to pupating!! Then two others pooped the runny stuff! But several others have climbed the sticks (and one on my upside down plant holder leg) and they're still pooping the little round pellets. So HOW do you know for sure they're about to start the pupation stage? Maybe I should make that a seperate thread. I've been picking up some of the roaming guys and putting them back on the parsley but maybe they're really looking for a place to pupate. Yikes, this is scary!!!!! I just so don't want to do any harm.....
