: What I did with my babies is I took a mealworm and broke it in half let them lick the insides.. and they loved them since.. another person I was working with we had to cut the meal worm into 4 sections and layed it atop of their food, the next day cut it into 3 sections, the next in half, then a full one was offered..eaten, devored and loved ever since..

We have noticed that our babies learn eating habits from older gliders in the group. It isn't until they see someone else eating a worm and try to take it away that they discover how good they are and learn to come a running when they hear the sound of the lid coming off.
