Hi all. My two male youngsters are getting big now - 6 months old - and they seem no longer
content to hang around me at play time. They are investigating all sorts of curiousities.
I've read stuff on glider-proofing and have checked for dangers, but I am just scared to
death to just let them glide away to play. How do you get over the fear and turn them
loose to play? I have visions of them scooting up the fireplace chimney or getting inside
a piece of furniture.....yikes! Also, we seem to have evolved a diet regimine that they
are enjoying - but is it safe? They have been raised on a solid insectivore diet that I
buy from the breeder. In addition to that, they get some fresh fruit one night, frozen
veggies the next night, and 2-3 mealworms the next. Then we repeat the whole menu, keeping
the dry stuff in there at all times. They eat up their fresh stuff, go crazy for the worms,
and finish off the dry by morning. They then have fresh dry stuff for daytime snacks.
Does this sound balanced enough for them?

Thanx.

N.
