    Thank you so much for this video. Very informative. I have a Pet Tarantula that has been on a hunger strike (even after her molt she hasn’t eaten) she started acting scared of the crickets. I can’t find Dubia cockroaches locally and seeing how she normally only would eat one cricket a week I didn’t want to buy a lot. So today I went to a local pet shop and bought 12 mealworms. I was so happy she caught it and at this moment she is eating. Yay. I appreciate your video now I know thanks to you how to keep them alive.
    Looking forward to watching your Glider videos. Brenda 🤗

    Do we need to cover the box while keeping in refrigerator, as we use the same refrigerator for our own food, so will it be safe, like in refrigerator gases get circulated from one stuff to other, so really concerned.

    Once in the fridge and cold, how long do you have to let them sit out before you can feed them to your gecko?

    • @megansellars
      @megansellars 4 роки тому +1

      I think just feed them to them when your gecko is hungry I don’t know as I am keeping tarantulas

    • @charlezjenkinz9918

    • @elizabethwhitley6536
      @elizabethwhitley6536 6 років тому

      Hi GoldenAge :) They cannot be spayed, only the males neutered and no, they have a normal animal smell but smell nothing like a ferret or something like that. We recommend TPG Fresh Diet. Feel free to email me at elizabeth@thepetglider.com for more Starter Info :)

    I saved a baby songbird thrush from the Jaws of a neighborhood Tom. She's bren eating the dry worms. I bought these from amazon. But no instructions whatsoever. I have never bought these before. I had sliders when I was in California, really don't remember what I fed em. It was probably meal worms. I am creeped out, but seeing u handle them, I can do it. I had np clue even how to store them. My bestie is still in California. She just said fridge. Me of course, does homework & research. Thanks for all this info. But you said they later turn into beetles? Will this juvenile thrush eat them? I'm assuming the mother already fed her all this. I'm just a month late. She's almost an adult now.

    When I buy them from a pet store they come in a container with mealworm bedding. Is bedding necessary if you’re putting them in the fridge? Should you take a portion out and put them in a small container with bedding?

    • @elizabethwhitley6536
      @elizabethwhitley6536 6 років тому

      We don't recommend the store bought mealworms because they can contain corn bedding which can lead toa risk of aflatoxin poisoning. We recommend using only our mealworms (www.thepetglider.com) because they are in wheat bran only. Its the only way to get safe mealies :)

      They hibernate when you placed them in the refrigerator. Let them outside at room temperature and they come back to life

    How do you remove dead mealworms from all the live ones?

    • @Thepetglider
      @Thepetglider  5 років тому +1

      No special tricks, we just pick out the black dead ones by hand! It may take a little while if you have a lot of dead worms... Best way to avoid this is unboxing them immediately upon delivery. In the summer months they will be exposed to more heat during shipping and you will probably have a bit more arrive dead. I would get expedited shipping and make sure that you check your delivery emails so they aren't sitting in the mailbox! When you layer your worms, avoid making your layers too deep so they don't suffocate. And if you have the worms in your fridge for an extended period of time, make sure you bring them out every 1.5-2 weeks to feed them again and give them enough nutrients to survive for a longer time
