I hope I'm not encourageing out-laws but the gliders are the cutest thing. When the birds have gone to bed I wheel out the gliders into the TV room and let them run around and play. Unfortunately they can't be house trained but luckily I've got sugar-gliders and not greater gliders - in that respect maybe feather-tailed gliders would be even better.
Anyway I cleaned out the superworms from their disgusting mush and found about 1/4 of them dead. They are now in a 40X25X14cm plastic tub with a fly-wire lid. The media is flour-moth and weevil infested finch mix with chicken starter mixed through. This time I'll go easier on the bananna skins to avoid the toxic mush I created. Nearly all my meal worms have pupated and some are now emerging so I'd better get cracking on making my colony. I could store them in the refrigerator but that would only work until my wife found them!
