I know that the protein has changed to 33% from 25%, but when has it gone up to 50%? How may I be aware of the changes in the future? I think this is important for everyone to know. How do I know this is accurate and what if its not and I continue to feed too much protein? Sorry for the questions, but I just read this and is concerned.

: : Just wondering....
: : Should it be 75% Fruit / 25% Protein-"based" foods or 75% Fruit / 25% "Protein" ??
: : After all, chicken for example is about 1/6 protein 5/6 other stuff...

: I have been told that the amount of protein in a gliders diet has been upped to 50%. This is from a University in North Carolina that does research on gliders.
: Meal worms are about 1/3 percent protein. Eggs are a good source. Tofu is another high percentage source of protein. I did not realize chicken was so low in protein. I would think that skinless chicken breats would be the highest and best part of the chicken to feed gliders. I think that one can judge by how active ones gliders are if the diet is balanced. I know when my gliders are low on protein they seem to be less active. Variety is good as the glider does not get bored with their meals. Peanuts, limited to one a day is also a good protein source.
