So what is the concensus on feeding flyers crickets...I have read on here those who recommend it and those that don't. In my ongoing search to replace Anakin's superworms, I was advised by the store today to feed frozen crickets.....she said sugar gliders love them, so she was pretty sure my flyer would too. So I brought them home, popped them in the freezer, and offered Anakin one and he chose IT over the nasty superworms (I think they are nasty, Anakin doesn't agree). He looked very content munching on his cricket. I remember seeing something on here a while back about they can't digest the exoskeletons of the cricket. I am pretty sure they eat the little suckers in the wild. Any thoughts? If they are bad for him, I won't offer any more, but it is sure easier feeding frozen crickets than superworms. I offered worms to him tonight too, and my 22 year old son thought it would be a FANTASTIC idea to cut their heads off first:shakehead :shakehead I wouldn't let him though. I much prefer watching Anakin rip their heads off instead.....
