    Believe it or not, i bought one in Homebase Portlaoise aswell. I've seen them in other homebases also.

    I've saw them in Tescos Portlaoise on Tuesday.

    SO, any Homebase or Tescos would be worth a try.

    The one's in Tescos are in a plastic container, so stop people setting of the traps. Smaller but alot healthier looking. Mine has improved greatly since i got it almost 6 weeks ago.


    Anyone any tips on keeping them. Whats the best for the winter. No more flies around for it to eat.

    I think you can actually feed them little bits of raw mince meat. Might want to check that out online, I was looking at getting them as "pets" for kids and think I read about feeding them meat.

    Hope he found something to feed it, or I'm sure it would be dead by now:D

    water them with rainwater rather than tapwater; i don't think you need to 'feed' them, as they go dormant in winter anyway.
