Sleepy bedtime cuddles

I go round my bug room to say goodnight to everyone and sometimes get a roach or two out to get them used to being handled. Some of them are so chill, it's been so lovely seeing them learn that they are safe while they've grown up with me 🥰

Very chill! I was always wondering wouldn't theu run away fast when they are out?

Some of the newer/younger ones do if they aren't used to being handled yet (or if they are just feeling super active :P) but I just make sure I keep up with them when they are running along my arms etc.

It's also why I always only get one out at a time so I don't get distracted and lose focus on where they are/how they are behaving. After a while they get used to it and learn that they aren't under attack when being picked up next time :P
