In Reply to: Mealworms! Does anyone feed them to their gliders? posted by Audrey on January 13, 1998 at 21:57:23:

: I am concerned about the protein aspect of my gliders diet. When I first got him I was told to give him some baby food with meat in it
: like once a week or so. I have recently learned that some are feeding mealworms. My question is how do they give them to the gliders.
: I have hear they have a shell that has to be removed, so do you cut them up! Or feed them live? Please respond!

FYI: The breeder I bought my glider from NEVER feeds them
mealworms or any other live food. In fact, I didn't realize this untill I called
him up. I had tried to feed it mealworms, and it would bat them away. His reasoning was that
you will never have to worry about disease of any sort coming from live foods. Sounds like
good advice, but I don't know enough about them yet to be sure. Just don't be surprised if your
glider doesn't like worms like I was.
