[go NYWORMS !] but how do i keep them ? they were pretty alive when i got home since my stepdad didn't know what was in the box. i put them in their bag in the fridge for now... _________________________ Holly Jeff sk: Kalista Misos && Lacee && Phoenix 443.867.0243 [network yourself !] "sometimes things have to go wrong in order to go right"

oakley Glider Slave Registered: 07/22/05 Posts: 696 Loc: Florida, USA	there are a few things you can do. If you want to "farm" the worms or want good worm-keeping info in general... here is a good link. _________________________ Meghan ~__/> {{ }} My pets: Suggies: Pepito, Lola, Pepper and Basil, Mowgli and Mausi Dogs : Pretzel and Snickers Bunny: Zimbabwe Horse: Chicken Nugget RIP Gato, my kitty.

Holly1221 Senior Glider Member Registered: 08/10/06 Posts: 1766 Loc: Pasadena, Maryland	thanks for the link. i could never do farming bc i've had a few bad experiences with fly larvae that i do not wish to talk abt.. yah.. i ordered medium worms but these aren't that big.. i mean they are tiny ! i'll measure them tomorrow.. what happens if they aren't the size i ordered ? [and as these mealies are this tiny, i'm having a little bit of a hard time [reason is above] wanting to give them to my gliders.... _________________________ Holly Jeff sk: Kalista Misos && Lacee && Phoenix 443.867.0243 [network yourself !] "sometimes things have to go wrong in order to go right"

Italiandoll Glider Explorer Registered: 07/14/08 Posts: 48 Loc: NY	none of our gliders will touch mealies or crickets, I don't know why, they just don't want them and I've tried a bunch of times.

LSardou Moderator Registered: 03/01/06 Posts: 12380 Loc: Kansas	Holly, you will need to put them in a vented container with some bedding with Bran or Oatmeal (old fashioned oats). Since these are small it will help to keep them in a dark cool dry place along with a little lettuce, potato slices, or carrots for a few days to feed. Make sure that the bedding does not get damp or wet!. After a day or two remove the veggie and put the worms in the frig. You will want to repeat this once a week so that they can eat. _________________________ My 2 Beautiful Babies Sam & Choco Please Remember To Check Your Pouches Daily!
