My dh loves his Gloworm (I think its almost 30 years old) but the insides were all corroded so we throw the inards away. So I am in search of replacement inards or another we can disect. TIA

Hmm, I don't recall, but I think it was under $10.

I wonder if you could use the innards from one of the new style gloworms or soothe-and-glow seahorses. It looks like both are on Amazon for $10 or less. I would think the new insides should fit inside the old body without too much trouble.

They don't sell them anymore? I bought one new, when DS1 (almost 9 yrs old) was a toddler, it was the baby glow worm. I had no idea that they discontinued them. No wonder everyone who came over and saw it thought it was cool.

They still sell Gloworms, they just look different now. I saved DD's Gloworm from when she was a baby, because I feared they would change them again, and they did.... I don't like the newest style at all!

Apparently I need the original Gloworm from 1974! lol much more difficult to locate. I will have to go to target and see if the new ones have the same innards as the old ones.
