Subject: crickets, etc.
Posted by Collette on August 23, 1998 at 16:45:51:
I am interested in all the posts I see of folks feeding their gliders crickets. I feed my girls lots of fresh fruits, veggies, nuts and berries, yogurt, meat, etc.(they LOVE dried banana chips - they each get one every night). I tried giving them a meal worm, but they both looked at me like I was insane! (and quite honestly I was incredibly relieved - those things are GROSS!) How do you feed crickets? Let them loose in the cage? What stops them from getting away and infesting your house? (I know a cricket in your house is supposed to be good luck, but it makes me nuts - they are noisier than the girls!) I bought a dish of mealworms from my pet store with the intention of giving them each one after they had their nails "done". (I take them back to the pet store and let THEM be the bad guy...) So instead we hit Taco Bell first and get a little dish of shredded taco cheese and they each get some of that after their nail appointment on Fridays. Thanks for all your help - I've been a "lurker" here for 6 months since we got the girls... and I've enjoyed your insights. Collette
