: They are a pair, and are unrelated. I've never met them before but I have my choice out of a bunch of them. I've handled and seen gliders on a few occasions prior to this, but have read every web page and book I could find, and I feel I'm ready to give them a try (in order to get them I sold my entire (small) collection of frogs to get them, and a cage with about 200 or so for emergency vet bills).
Choose wisely . . . they will be with you for hopefully, 14-15 years.
: I also just thought of another bug that would be a perfect food, they are called Confused Flour Beetles, Trobilium confusium (sp). They are a little larger than the larger of the fruitflies and have larva that work for food for the frogs as well; the beetles should also work as a protein source.
: As always if you need any of the bugs stop by (for first time readers) I live in Ephrata PA.

Confused Flour beetles . . . I looked them up after reading this and I beg to differ with you. The article says they are only 3/16th long and are actually mini mealworms. Please check out the link I'm attaching and tell me if you think it is accurate.
Thanks
And Congrads again!
