: I have recently begun giving my gliders Brisky's (along with other fruits and veggies) and they seem to enjoy it. I give it more as a supplement to make sure they are getting all the nutrients they need. I am so afraid of the hind leg paralysis thing that I want to make sure they have everything they need. I also sprinkle "Glider Booster" on their food (like you would salt on your own food) that I got from the pet store that I purchased my glider from. It's also a nutritional supplement made specifically for SG's. Both of my SG's seems to be doing fine. I also have a special treat that I make for them that has honey, wheat germ, apple juice, special K cereal and the booster all mixed together that they absolutely love. If anyone wants the recipe just let me know. It kinda curbs the sweet tooth as well as gives them nutrients. My SG's love anything sweet. I had one of them steal a whole donut off my plate. He can't resist chocolate donuts!
: Please remember that when adding foods to Brisky's for variety, you must add the same for all aspects of a normal glider diet. If you add just one thing, say fruits, you will through off the complete balance. You must add 25% vegs and min. 25% protien along with the 50% fruits.

: : : Hey I wanted to know how many of you feed Briskys and if it is good for you...I was thinking of it but not real sure...I wanted to see some stats about who liked it and didnt like it. Thanks.

: : I use Brisky's as a "in-the-cage-all-the-time" food. I still feed fruits and such but the Brisky's does get eaten.
