Bugs! Harmful?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

TJCYorkie · 08-20-2006, 10:59 AM

I have noticed that our little one has a fascination with grasshoppers out in the yard. It's funny to watch her chase them, but I think she may have eaten a few as well!

Is this bad for her?

im not sure gracie seems to be fascinated with bugs too and she is fine ... maybe someone else can give us both a real answer

Roxy has eaten everything she could get ahold of - with special preference given to the dried up worms on the concrete. The crunchier, the better. I try to beat her to them, but she is way too fast. She also likes to lick ant piles if she can get away with it. Anyway, she is as healthy as can be. I think someone on here had a little one that preferred crickets. What's a little more protien in their diet?

Hmm...I'm not sure, but that is a good question.

Kona has a fascination with birds. I'm just waiting for her to give me one as a present.

Stay away from STINK BUGS!! We almost lost Joey when he ate one then went into shock. We rushed him to the vet, he had to stay the night and now 200.00 later he is great.

Katy loves the worms and crickets too! It is disgusting. I yell at my DH for letting her. He says she just runs and scoops up as many as she can before he gets her.

My 2 I've taught when they get a bug to bring it to mommy. We have our yard sprayed for bugs, & I don't know what the pesticide inside the bug might do. Because usually when a bug gets on our lanai it dies shortly after. So they bring me dead bugs. I just hope they don't sneek & eat them.

Taffy love dead worms & live locust. A dying locust was buzzing her and she attack it and ate it. UCK

She did try a lighting bug she spit that out real fast. She even tried the dry shells of the locust. It was alright until another dried on attach itself to her leg. That's all it took for her to leave them alone.
