Subject: food and supplements

I am getting really confused as to how much food, and what food to give my glider- here are a few questions off the top of my head...

* How much food? (I have heard a cup a night, 25% protein and 75% fruits and vegetables) But that is huge!

* If I make (Protein) chicken, the Caroline MacPherson book I have says that it doesn't have enough calcium (calcium/phosphorus) ratio, and to add either nonfat natural yogurt or cottage cheese, etc. But how much for one glider and how often?

* How often, and how much supplements do you give one seemingly healthy glider a week?

* I found a supplement that sounds like the "Rep-Cal with D3"
that people have been tlaking about, but it is "Reptocal" and it has (I think) A B C $ D vitamins..is this right?

* or until Glider-aide shows up (once I order it) what should I use in it's stead? Can she do without for a little while?

* She has been raised on cat food *growls* Is it wrong to suddenly switch her to fresh foods?

* Lead-beaters formula, how much a night, and is this the full meal or do you add fruits and vegetable to it?...how much of each?

Thank you for all of your help and support...:) Wouldn't it be lovely if books were more specific?:)
