hey a real big THANK YOU for all the quick replies, cleared a lot of my doubts

but i have more doubts, scared i too cheong hei nobody wanna reply dy

for those who bring your gliders to work or studies in the bonding pouch, what would you do if they suddenly bark or crab?

and those that let your cute pets go free in the room, wont they pee and poo all over the room?

man if not for SG not being able to be toilet trained. they would be the most awesome pets around (but they already are awesome)

@muchan
ya actually i dont really like the idea of storing insects and worms in my fridge and to hand feed them, thats y i asked if gliders could go without them..but from all of the replies i realised its best to let the gliders have rite?

Yup, they taste like nuts. They have a very nice nutty aroma.

Yup, safe for human consumption. My crickets are pre-gutloaded with fresh stuff and quality cereals for a few days and cleaned before baking. I personally do eat a bit to test.

When my gliders crab or bark or hiss in class, I usually pretend it's my handphone if ppl don't know, but usually the class knows, so I just gently cup them so they stop hissing/crabbing/barking before the teacher complains.

Yup, the gathering is still on. The details will be out soon. Wanna try adding some spice to the crickets, roasted crickets glazed with agave nectar? MMmm....

Well If she stays on you most of the time, and when you bring her out she won't jump off I would say she's bonded. Judy for example won't jump off me when she on my shoulders in shopping centres. I'll make sure the bonding pouch is round my neck. Whenever she feels unsafe or not in the mood to be out, she'll just go back into her pouch and peep out. Only when she hears the treats bag, she'll immediately come out.

^ normally after feeding her she will pee n poo after that n sometimes I will found her poo on the floor. Other than that I dun find anything messy. Just make sure ur room is glider proof lar.

errr... Dun store the worms inside the fridge lar... it will smells later.
What I did was putting the worms into 1 Tupperware and gutload them with the rolled oats. I fed them alive to my glider

Seriously u have to try to touch the worms. I was really scared at first but when I tried to fed them to my glider I'm getting less afraid of that

I have no problem bring her to college as she dun crab at all
gliders only bark at nite so most probably they wont bark at day time.

You can store in the fridge, it'll slow their metabolism and they eat less. A good side to it is that they don't turn to pupa so fast, if I'm not mistaken.

Reanne you make me hungry dy.. that calls for a Nesvita hahaha. since you got baked crickets, why not bake mealworms as well?

Muchan : I won't eat grubs la.. it's for Judy and Meegy. But if you want, I can mix it in some food and let you try..
Ya I'm willing to help out too if assistance is needed for the gathering. Just drop me a PM in advance.

lol, a lil off topic but one of our forumers were thinking to fry mealworms after gutloading with fresh stuff and cleaning. He ask me whether I was interested to try.

milo, there was once i went to a family restaurant and Frey decided to be mean and crabbed on top of her voice. So I just pressured her a lil until I got outside the restaurant and takled to her and pet her till she went back to sleep. On the lrt, I just pretend my phone had an sms.

Me willing to help too! Let me know if I can help out.

Mealworms are more difficult as they burn easier, but I'm working with a different equipment than my previous, so will try later on.

As for keeping in the fridge, I kept before wor, for few weeks until they finished, they were perfectly alive.

Lol, sure, help is always welcome.

thanks so much for all the prompt replies really,made me much more informed on this topic

gonna sleep good night all

Reanne: Since you tried refridgerating them, I might give it a try.

I cant give it a try as I dun have my own fridge. If I fridge them later my housmate all pengsan if they saw a pack of worms inside the fridge!!! huahauahu

Fridge ya, not freezer.

lol, my mum hated the fact that my dad kept frozen bloodworms in her fridge. She'll kill me for putting live mealworms in it.

And my RM 1 mealies tend to finish before too many pupate anyway. Plus Roche loves pupa~

Ok... hhaha... Freeze mealworms = suggie mealsicles

Hihi,
Becuz my gliders dun like potato and starfruit so what i did is mash the papaya + honeydew + mango + potato + starfruit + 40 mealworms + little yogurt = 2nite dinner. I tasted a bit...quite yummy. Do u think they will like it?

How many sg u have?? 40 is too much for 1 or 2 glider....

btw... why everyday got at least 4-5 worms turned into dry black n die huh??
everyday before feeding her I have to sort out n throw those died worms

Ya I agree that 40 is too much for 1 or two.. Limit is about 10 per day.

What do you feed your mealworms with? So far I've got no dead worms yet. Some may be due to health problems.

Haloo, to tired to post anything at 10pm just now.. Just came back from training.. Huhu I went to FLUFF with Fluffy and Casper [Duprasi].. Nice place there..

Reanne : I also want sample ya.. Baked crickets! I also put the mealies in the fridge after i gutload them coz they tend to die after they gutloaded.. Dunno y..

Muchan : So how Tuesday? Tell me ya. I might wana go SuperPets to see "something".. and buy also hopefully..

Aurion : Good la u got Judy to handle ur Meegy, later my girl come home, i have to start all over the bonding like i did to Fluffy.. hehe
