Subject: Re: Mealworms, etc

I'm glad to hear that people find mealworms to be a good treat. I used to
buy them for my iguana and my hedgehogs,(who have sadly all three passed
in recent months) who just devour them! One day, I had the bucket of
mealworms on the floor as I was feeding the hedgies. Rascal came up to
investigate and dumped the container over and began chowing down! At
first I was a little disgusted because I think they are nasty little
critters, and somehow my furry little ferret eating them wasn't pleasant!
(of course, watching a hedgie eat them didn't bother me, but they are
insectivores) I wasn't sure how good they were for the furries, but he
likes them so much, I treat him once in a while. I don't think either of
the girls have ever been interested though. (never thought of crickets
either.... thanks!)

Sadly just down to Rascal and Funk now.
My family of 6 crazy critters is now down to two fabulous furries.
