Ok, everyone tells me how much their gliders love crickets...Well, i just put my two in a box with one or two crickets, and my gliders were scared of them!! I had their nesting box in there, and they jumped on top of that. I finally got Athena to eat part of a cricket, after i killed it and pulled it apart, but Aphrodite still wouldn't eat it. And neither of them would eat a live cricket. What do i do?!? Please help!!

Are your gliders babies? Most gliders abhor anything that moves until they are older.

Try mealworms...the crickets seem to be scarrier....gliders are likely to try mealworms before crickets.

I freeze my crickets. At feeding time I drop about 6 or7 "cricket pops" in the bowl and my babies go nuts. I started doing this because I couldn't touch the live crickets.

You can use freeze dried crickets or if you buy the "can o' crickets" you can use tweezers to take them out, Thats what I do. I am going to get freeze dried ones next cause the can of crickets smells really bad!
