They should try to feed them with red meat, just to see what happens.

Also, that thing looks like it can't even support its own weight. Just look at how it's lying in the comparison shot.

Incidentally, that thing weighs more than A THREE-YEAR-OLD CHILD! Holy cus...

The good doctor's idea has potential.

Then we could build them a sweet hive/burrow, equip them with jet packs, and get them to swarm the postman.

1 stone = 14lbs. It's how we measure weight in Britain and it's just a collective unit of lbs, like a foot is of inches.
