ask your local pet store if they will order the glideraide and Brisky's for you. Most of them will. If not you can purchase them online. I would call Brisky's and get a sample first though. Alot of gliders don't seem to like Brisky's.
As for the mountain dew...soft drinks contain ALOT of phosphorus. Phosphorus will interfer with yours and the gliders calcuim absorption...so if at all possible I would make sure the dew is out of the glider's reach. Also the caffeine would concern me!!
the isga server is having problems but you can still access the site by using the numbers....here's the addy: http://209.240.131.8/
The vet you are looking for I think is Hannah

Dr. Hanna Siemering
Springfield, VA
(703) 451-3414

There is another vet listed there in Alexandria but i called and they no longer see exotics.
Hope this is of some help :)

: Oh yeah, one other thing. I drink a lot of mountain dew and have twice now caught him drinking it from a glass on my desk. Other than it not being good nutritionally, is there anything "dangerous" about that like I should panic if I see it happen? It scared me the first time I saw it but it was so cute the second time I let him have a couple sips of it. I just wanted to make sure there was nothing that might cause health problems that showed up at some point in the future.

: Sorry for the length of this, I prepared for almost a year before actually adopting my baby, but there's always things you can't prepare for. (I had found a vet in Alexandria in the ISGA vet list, but their website has been down recently so I haven't been able to find it)

: TIA,
