Have you tried cutting the meal worm in half so he can smell and taste the inside? I have had to do this with both the mealys and the crickets with a few of my gliders. After getting the first taste they eat them fine.

: I cut and pasted my message from another board:

: My glider is really picky. I fill his dish with various fruits and veggies every night. He also gets a tablespoon of Leadbeaters with a good amount of RepCal in it. This is because I can't get my glider to eat RepCal any other way. He won't eat crickets or mealies. I give him chicken, meats, boiled egg, and sometimes sprinkle on wheat germ for added vitamins and stuff. I dip foods he aviods in honey or applesauce and he also gets high protein babyfood chicken. I'm ordering Brisky's as soon as I can get to the site (computer troubles). Is his current diet OK and how should I change it when I get the Brisky's? If he won't eat live crickets, will he try freeze dried? Thanks a bunch, Amy and Jonesy
