: Stef: have you read all the info on Bourbon's bonding page? I can't tell you how much that pade has effected me. You sound like you may need to start at the beggining with those two. Look at the links and you will see Bourbons page. She has great info. Do exactly what she says, it works!!! Have you bought a woodent wheel? I think it is betetr than a hamster ball. Some gliders have gotten their nails caught in the ball. IT is an issue that people can't really agree on. I don't do it, because I want to be safe. If they wont eat the emalworms make sure they are getting enough protien. What diet are you using? One way to get them to eat mealworms is dip the worjm in something they like, then sometimes they will try eating the worm. They should love the worm once they try it. I highly suggest reading Bourbon's page..esp the bonding and the diet info.

thank you mary i have brushed through bourbons page i will again that is where i got the t-shirt on the cage
thing---the diet is this bo the very very gentle one gets a
mealworm every other night and the other two get a very very
small sliver of nut--or cottage cheese these two thngs are not
great but they will do i put a worm in the dishes of milo and
otis but the worms died where they laid----but in addition
i also throw in bug and berries and fruit and veg and gliderade
but i am open to other ideas----the balls are really great and the
they rip though the house in them when they get tired of the
balls they stop-----hell of a surprise
for the cat
thank you
