I wouldn't trust any bugs from outdoors. Even if you are in an area that you are sure there are no pesticides used, who knows where the bugs fly or crawl from. I bet the gliders would love a june bug. Maybe you can call the Zoo (if there is one near you) and ask them where they get the bugs to feed their animals.
Good luck, happy crunchin'....(yuck!)

: Its probably best not to risk feeding your glider an insect that may have been exposed to insecticides.

: : Those of you who catch june bugs and things to feed your glider - have you ever had any problem with insecticide or anything? I've wondered if this is okay - does anyone have a definite answer. I bet she would LOVE june bugs. :)
