  • Fascinating..!!! I used to be scared of them..but now I see things different !

    and the ending is cute..the cockroach is clinging to the object like thinking..I can do it -

    I can do it...grrr..-I can do itttt ...XD

    You did a great job! :D *applauds*

  • thanks! the ending reminds me a bit of a hamster wheel ;-)

  • I just started Karen Pryor's new book & she talks about training a hermit crab to ring a bell. Great work. Glad to see you post - I enjoy watching and sharing your videos. Hmmmm - if roaches can learn (& of course they can), does that mean we (as humans) have to change the way we look at them and other insects? Thanks for stepping outside the box. 5* and a favorite. :-)

  • hi! thanks so much for the bell-idea! i hope i still have some patience left to try this out - their few brain cells works sooo slowly...

    btw, i copied your bubble-trick with my dogs (not shared yet) ;-)

  • That.......was.......HILARIOUS­, showjumping for cockroaches, amazing. !

    I've seen far worse animal acts on some TV talent shows,.......I would love to see Simon Cowell's reaction to this performance.

    The music from the film, " Zorba The Greek ", was a good choice, ( great film ), I was expecting the cockroach to rear up and start doing the Greek dance from the film, ( perhaps with a it more training ), :).

    Lord, I do love creative eccentrics.
