With regard to the possibility of a new cage and a wodent wheel....
I am very pleased with the cage that I have, It came from
Betsy's Custom Creations with a wodent wheel attached and
ready for use. I have a pouch which attaches to the cage
door this way I can peek in without disturbing my babies.
As for adding a mate- My female and I had always had a great bond
I was worried about adding another but am glad I did- she was
thrilled to see another, but she is always ready to come
to me as before.
All the best to you in your decisions!

: Hello. I have had a female glider for 2 years and I have a few questions. I have fed her leadbeaters for the last year, and she is very healthy. Is my recipie okay? It is:
: 1 cup gerber baby cereal w/ bananas
: 1 jar gerber chicken baby food
: 1 jar gerber mixed fruit baby food
: 1 jar gerber mixed fruit juice
: 1 tablespoon wheat germ
: 1 tablespoon honey
: 1 tablespoon gliderade
: I puree and freeze in icecube trays. Does anyone know of anything I should change/add to it?

: I have her in a 24 x 24 x 36 cage which is made of galvanized wire. I was thinking about buying her a plastic/vynal coated cage but don't know where to buy one, does anyone have any ideas?

: One last thing, I was thinking, maybe around Christmas, I would buy a male glider. Would she be able to have one litter or is she too old to have her 1st litter? She will be 2 in January. I was planning to have one litter, keep the babies (neuter them) and then neuter the dad. Do you think that she would get along with a glider after she has been soooo people oriented for so long?
: Thank you so much.
: JayBee

: P.S.
: I almost forgot, does anyone know where I can purchase a Wodent Wheel and a good nest box? Many thanks and god bless.
