: I'm sure she will drink when she gets thirsty, they do get moisture from the fruits and such. As for the dried crickets, they prefer live over freeze dried.

: : I hardly ever see my glider drink anything...she will eat fine but never touches her water, does she just get the liquids from her fruits or what? Another thing how do you get a glider to eat freeze dried crickets? Mine wont touch them.

Mine prefer freeze dried actually..
If its something live thy like to play with it and kill it but they wont actually eat it.. The first time i fed mine a freeze dried cricket, she wouldnt take it, but it was just because I guess she wasnt hungry because sometimes ill hand her one and she ill take it from me and gulp it down!!
acually she picks it apart and eats the insides first (ew)
Try putting it in with their regular food and see if its eaten the next day.. or try hand feeding it..
as a treat,
