: I hope this isn't a stupid question.We buy freeze dried to feed as treats to our turtles. Can these be given to gliders? Also, can meal worms be purchased in any pet store?

It depends on who makes them. Some are coated with vitamins, you do not want to give these. (I belive Terramin coats them.)
The ones made by Fluker Farms are the ones I use. (I sell them too.) Freeze drying foods does retain almost all the nutrients, only the water is removed.
Here is a link to a site detailing the freeze-drying process: Oregon Freeze Dry, Inc.
