These are not interchangable. RepCal is a calcium supplement. It contains ONLY calcium and vitamin D3. Glider Booster is a multivitamin. Gliderade is not a vitamin supplement at all, its FOOD. It is meant to simulate the nectar sugar gliders eat in the wild.
Leadbeater's mix doesn't need any of these mixed into it anyway. Oversupplementing gliders is a big problem and vitamins should be done carefully. Its best to instead give your gliders a vitamin supplement once a week only so that it has a chance to clear the body and not build up to toxic levels.

: Could someone please tell me the difference between Repcal, gliderade, and glider booster? I know they are vitamins but which one is better? A leadbeaters recipe I have calls for 2tsp. Repcal, is it ok to use 2 tsp. of gliderade or glider booster instead? Please help.
