Ooh, what have you been ordering?

Mealworms -- 6 would be best if you're giving everyday. Don't give too much as the fatty contents lead to glaucoma or cataracts in suggies. I think there was an article posted in the previous thread. Basically they can eat about 20 if you let 'em but that's where you need to control their intake. Mealworms are just way too yummy.

CFP -- yeah better not give everyday. I usually skip a day and then give 6 mealworms.

Well, with regards to sleeping a lot, BabyBoy sleeps quite a bit too. His schedule is very weird, he's awake in the afternoon and sleeps throughout the night. But he's never one to turn down his mealworms.

Just a note:

The first thing that you'll notice if a glider is sick is the changes in his/her behaviour, refusal to eat meals for a number of days (not just one or two) and the number one thing is -- droopy ears. But gliders are very good at hiding the fact that they're sick though. From what I've read online from people's experiences though, if your gliders ears start to droop, that's not a good sign. So keep an eye out for that. Usually when you start to notice that your glider is sick, by that time, there really isn't much you can do already as it means the glider's already really really sick. Cause even if it's not feeling well, it will hide it from you. That's the sad fact. So don't blame yourself too much if anything happens.

Yeah lol but no worries it'll retract back and all will be normal again. Sometimes the male glider will even start flossing -- licking and stuff la. You only have to worry when it doesn't retract back after a whole day. Then you might need to put some KY Jelly on it so that you can aid your glider to retract it back in. >>; I know it all sounds a bit weird lol but these are the facts.
