Subject: Need help quick for fatty glider!
Posted by Fuzzy lover on December 19, 1999 at 17:50:31 from 149.99.77.146

I just got a glider today from someone who feed him too much fat(nuts being the main thing) He's very fat compared to my other male glider and he has not spent much time out of cage(that will change) and I don't think he can glide at all. He just sort of inches around the cage unlike my others who jump from place to place. His fur is dull and matted on his head and chest scent gland(what can be done about this). I need to know if there is a way to get him to slim down and get his muscles ready to help him glide quickly. I feed Leadbeater's,
Brisky's, crickets and mealies, fruits and veggies and give either water or juice(100% no sugar added) to drink. Which brings me to another question. Should I also give Glider aid in the water? I've heard that too much is just as bad as not enough. Sorry this is so long. Thank you in advance.
