Crickets are entertaining to watch...

Well my boyfriend dropped off the toad he caught and is now keeping as a pet, Mr. Wigglesworth (sometimes Wiggleton) and i gotta say he's kinda interesting.
I fed him some bugs i caught in my back yard, and one of them fell into his little water thingy. I didn't want it to drown and yuck it up so i reached in to flick it out of the water and towards him to eat. Surprisingly he jumped onto the back of my hand and sat there a moment, then ate the wet bug clinging to my fingertip, chirped, then hopped off to sit on his little house made out of a broken pot chunk.
just a bit ago i went and bought a buncha crickets and put them in a small fishbowl/tank thing with some sand in the bottom and stuff, hoping to make them last a bit longer and maybe get them to breed or just eat good food to pass though to Wigglesworth..
and you have no idea.. how awesome.. crickets are...
most of these things have legs or antennae missing and you can't tell they get around so well.
There is even one, a big one that's female (i can tell, i learned how to tell them apart and it's kinda epic) that has the bottom part of both her back legs missing.. and she's nomming on a bit of apple while doing a little handstand.. it's cool :D
Anyone else out there have any frogs, toads, or cool cold-blooded pets? Maybe someone has some giant bug pets, giant millipede's are really nice, as are tarantulas~!
