In Reply to: Gatorade for your glider?????? posted by Stephen on December 20, 1999 at 20:08:55:

: I just got this stuff called nutri-glider. basically it's this wierd powdered stuff that you mix with yogurt and gatorade. Has anyone else messed with this stuff or know anything about it?? Like serving sizes and healthiness. My glider is kinda over weight a little too (nuts can be such an easy meal to make sometimes) so i'm trying to slim him up

: thanks

I live in Austin and 3 years ago when I bought my first glider the only supplement available was Nutri-glider. I fed it almost exclusively as I was instructed by the pet shop. Since then I have found that because gatorade is so sweet it is difficult to get the gliders to eat anything else. Also if you feed too much or too often their urine stinks!!!!!!! So now I use fruit juice some, gatorade some, and really push the fruits and veggies. Variety seems to be the real key to a successful diet with my kids. The same thing too many days in a row and forget about it. I like the nutri-glider just fine but I also use the glider-aide.
