How long do you think for my ladies to get used to their new environment?

I finally arrived in TX and feel so bad that my ladies are stuck in a small travel cage until their DC Nation cage arrives. (no clue when that may be..it was supposed to be yesterday)

Last night was the first time that they had the opportunity to come out of their cage and play in a safe environment but they seemed scared and uncomfortable. I expected this but am also afraid that I may have damaged them somehow.

Also, does anyone know where I may purchase live meal worms in the Dallas area? Has anyone harvested their own live worms? Difficulty?

Thx

I moved in March.
I gave my gliders one week to get used to their new home/room/smells before I let them out for play time. It took a couple weeks for my timid gliders to get comfortable enough to come out. My confident gliders came out right away and explored. Now they all love their new space!

you didn't damage them

Moving isn't just changing houses. If it was a big move to another state a lot more than just the house has changed.

The altitude is different, the weather is different, the area's barometric pressure is different,the climate is different, the whole atmosphere and environment is different not just the new house or new state.

Gliders can be sensitive to all those things and it may take a few weeks for them to really get acclimated with those changes as well as the new house and things on the smaller scale.

Plus with unpacking and settling in to your new place the rhythm of the household has changed and is probably a lot more active than it was before.

Don't worry to much they will settle in and get used to all these things and level off again.

Not sure about live meal worms in that area, I order mine from Rainbow https://www.rainbowmealworms.net/

I usually get 250 once a month I think. I tried the 1000 and it's a good deal price wise but it was just way to many for me to deal with at one time lol 250 last my 9 to 10 gliders about a month I usually only give them mealies for nail trimmings.

The worms come in a mesh like bag with newspapers inside, when it comes I put the whole bag in the fridge for a few hours to make them go dormant and easier to transfer, then dump them into a roasting pan to shake them out of the newspapers and put them into the container i use for mealies. It takes about 5 minutes if they are dormant.
