How not to lose critters, changing substrate, ???

[LiveMermaid07]

Oh sorry, basically drink a 20 ounce coke, or a 20 ounce gatorade, cut the bottle into 2 pieces, the "cone" shaped part with the lid, and the tube shaped part where the coke usually is, invert the "cone" shaped part and put it into the tube so it looks like [__<| instead of [___|>

be sure the lid is unscrewed and off of the bottle too, then drop a piece of their favorite food into the bottle, and they'll crawl in through the inverted cone, and can't find their way back out due to the only hole out being in mid-air.

Hope that description works, lol.

Thanks! I really like the little pics! ^^


So I tried both the bottle trap and the leaf thing. I left them in for a day (turned off the lights) and a night. I got a small bundle of worms and about 3 snails.
I think they either didn't hear about the traps or they did and that's how they knew to stay away lol.

I also caught 2 bettas LOL!

One kept hiding in the lettuce and the other was able to get in and out of the bottle. LOL, silly girl! (Smart girl, lol.)
