I'm wondering if anyone has any nutritional informations on butterworms as a food source for gliders. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well, I have not found butterworms in my area, but just the name "butter" would suggest high fat content winkI have seen these little worms, and read some posts on glider central about their being high in fat.
I think I would stick with mealies and crickets for live protien.
