Is there anyway I can do a phoenix worm farm, as they are kinda expensive?
Does anyone feed pinkies and if so how often, how many per glider?
Is there a page I can find that has the correct ratios so that i dont need to go the usda page?
How often do you change the fruits and veggies you are giving?
Thanks for any help!

Hmm, phoenix worms I have no idea, I think they can be farmed, I think it's worm man in the US, just do a search for Phoenix worms on yahoo and he'll come up. I'm sure I've seen culturing kits for them!
I don't feed pinkies, I would think one a week, bear in mind suggies don't get particularly much protein in the wild and a small bird would be a real treat for them.
I change fruits and veg daily/weekly depending on what I've got in the fridge, I don't have a set routine to what fruit I feed and when, I ususally stick to a base of apple, pear, papaya and then whatever else is there.
Ratio's there are a couple of good pages, bear with me and I'll go find some links.

The gui. . . . . nx site is a guinea pig site w/great lists of ingredients and ratios in descending order. Easy to use.

Oh thanks Dee!! I was wondering what I was suppose to do there! Just got confused.
Another question I have...I have heard people feeding live acacia branches and was wondering if I could order them? And is there a certain species that is safe that I need to look for?

I don't know about ordering acacia. They grow wild on the west coast so I have them in my back yard. They only bloom at certain times of the year, tho, so most of the year I doubt there is any great benefit to acacia vs apple wood or any other non-toxic branches.
