For awhile I was giving Eos lactose free skim milk...she loved it. Then someone on here warned me about a chemical (not lactose) found in milk that can damage glider's eyes. I forget the name of it...someone else may know. Anyway, I stopped. I buy Bone-Aid reptile supplement and give her a drop twice a week mixed with her food. I also give her one Moon Drop (vitamin D to aid calcium absorbtion) a week. Be very careful with D supplements, though. My vet said they are toxic at too high doses.
Rep Cal is a good bet...always be sure your calcium supplement does not have phosphorus, though...so check the label.
