Theresa,
No, I just started feeding her that since I read that gliders need food with at least a 2:1 calcium/phosphate ratio...I didn't know it was junk food! I thought it was better that cat food because of the ratio! I have talked to the breeder several times and followed his advice. I couldn't possibly give her up now, though, because I'm too attached and she could probably not bond with anyone else.
Thanks for the link...I'll check it right away.

: Have you been feeding the Total cereal since you first got your glider? A breeder advised me against feeding cereal to gliders cos it's like junk food for them. Have you talked to the person you got your glider from, some breeders will replace one like that since it's been since you first got it.
: If it's still eating ok and is active/normal, maybe it's just the way the glider is. They're all so individual, we can't second guess what's normal for all of them. It could be a parasite of some sort causing the trouble, in that case a vet's advice would be needed.
: There's also a links page at glider.buffnet.com that may be able to lead you to the advice you need.
: If you find the solution to the problem, please share it with us.
