[WHY?} : I'm desperate to find dry foods for my young male glider until I decide which comercially made food I like best. [MAMMALS REQUIRE LIQUID IN THEIR DIET TO SUSTAIN GOOD HEALTH. IF YOU MUST USE CRACKERS AS A TREAT, GIVE WATER IMMEDIATLY TO HELP FLUSH THEIR SYSTEM.]
I think I'm going to try Brisky's. Until then, I've been giving small pieces of water crackers. They came in a fruit basket.[BETTER TO GIVE THE FRUIT]
WE get them all the time as gifts. They are bland, no addatives, preservatives, etc. Also no fat. Nothing I find harmful in them- and Jonesy loves them!
[ PROBABLY CRAVES THE SALT]
Should I use these until I make my decision? Thanks for advice everyone, Amy and Jonesy.

: The crackers make an okay occasional treat, but as a regular diet they wont do, also, they could stop your baby up. Please try to settle on something soon. I use leave a bowl of the Brisky's in each of my cages for snacking, and use the ledbetters diet a the mainsource supplemented with fresh fruits and veggies for variety.

: Best wishes to you and yours
