Okay, Narmi, First off Lea is right about the corn, but some of the other things also should be used as treats. On the Glider Info Tree, we just had a great discussion about diets, It seemed to cover everything.. It also has various diets that others use as well. Lea has some GREAT recipes there as well. You are looking for a protein suppliment to go with your diet..The nuts, and seeds have an awful lot of fats and gliders don't digest fats well at all. This was once acceptable, but found later to not be a healthy diet. You say you are currently using reptovite, check out the calcium:phosphorus ratio on it. it should be for every 2 calcium there should be 1 phosphorus. Calcium defiency is one of the leading diet tragedys of gliders. May I suggest looking at some of the other diets available and stay with it, till you have your glider a while to know what to watch for. There are several diets from cat food to the variety diets listed, Most Glider owners use REPCAL it is in a round jar with a pink and white lable, it is a calcium suppliment that is phosphorus free. The area of the gliding may also be diet related. If the calcium defiency has started, then she may feel really unsure of her legs, as well as maybe she has fallen and now is scared. The more she learns to trust you, the easier it will get for her to glide to you from various places..% inches, says something is wrong, whether it is diet, or she is petrified for some reason, don't rush her. Get her started on a BALANCED diet, that you know in your heart has what she needs in it. I will send you a few links email that you may want to research...
