I think the joey is just not old enough yet. Like I said below, mine never liked mealworms at all. Once a little older is when he went coo coo for crickets. You are doing the right thing right now. It sounds like your baby is getting pleanty of nutrition. You may want to get some rep-cal (w/vitamin D3, but no phosphorus) if you don't alread include it in the diet (I'm not familiar with the amounts of nutritions in the Brisky's diet, it may have all they need. Remember not to over dose the little ones with nutrients :)

: We have offered our joey mealworms----now that he is on solid food---He sees Toolah and Quantas just devour them---but as of yet, he seems to be afraid of them....he runs away when you offer one to him....I know he needs this protein.....He won't even attempt a cricket....What do we do in order to make these more palatable to him?

: Niblet was oop on the 28th of March...I miscounted earlier when I said on the 30th. But he's eating Brisky's glider food without any problem, tofu, niblets corn, blueberries, strawberries, most kinds of melon, etc, and drinking quantities of our version of the now infamous leadbetters mix....we're waiting on our order of gliderade to add to the regime to.....But I know he needs the protein from mealworms and crickets-----can anyone give some ideas as to how to get him to take them????????
