I assume that you could over feed your gliders on Brisky's just as with any other food. The norm is that people have found that their gliders seem to eat less of Brisky's than other foods. I believe on the out side of the box, it tells you how much to feed 1 glider. If I remember correctly, it is 2 oz of food per glider. (approx. 1/8th cup) per day. Feeding her 100% Brisky's is okay. I prefer to feed mine two 100% nutritionally balanced diets at once. I feed Brisky's and the rotational diet of fruits, vegs and protiens. That way their occasional treat doesn't harm them and they get variety that they seem to crave.
I think you are noticing an improvement in her overall heath on the Brisky's. YOu should see some weight gain, which will level out and a noticable difference in her coat too. I also add more protien levels to my gliders diet that the 25/75 ratio. I have been studing that issue and believe that 33 or 50 % protien is a better way to go.
If you have any other questions, feel free to email me.

Hope this helps....
