On this topic, anyone know where to get additional live food outside of mealworms like fly larvae or whiteants (probably can't get this due to termite problems). On alot of websites it is easy for some to get whiteants but for us city folk there is no access.

Cheers :)

If you have a car, a bucket and digging tools then you have access to termites. Walk anywhere through a bit of bushland and you will find termite mounds.
Frozen fly pupae are available through Australian Wildlife Supplies. They have an order form attached to the Queensland Finch Society publication "Finch News". There is a Sydney based fauna supplier which sell them as well but I can't remember their name off the top of my head.
