My Tegus chasing tiny crickets around the bathtub

Had some leftover crickets so I decided to let the yearlings have em. Pretty funny to watch a 3ft tegu chase 1/2" crickets.

Wow that is a ton of crickets. o_o
You're all american looks huge now! It's growing fast! She's such a pretty dark color. Great videos too, I'm surprised they all still tried.

That's hilarious. Do you have any problems with renegade crickets seeking freedom?

I honestly didn't realize how many crickets he had put in the bag. After feeding the argus and the baby giants I tied the bag back up and set it on the counter. The next morning I think I saw at least 10 running for it, so I just threw them in the bathtub. I think I asked for 50 and got like 300.......

I haaaaate crickets but baby tegus love them. Although they are really digging the chicken gizzards already. As soon as I put the bowl in their cage they both go right for them.
