: Oh geez! My bad! I read what I wrote and it seems I should proofread from now on.
: You are so right. It does require boiled eggs. 3 for a whole batch and 1 1/2 for a half batch.
: Thanks for pointing this out. I hope that I didn't poison anyone's gliders. But, I still feel it
: is the nastiest stuff I have ever made!

Tara ,
Sorry, I tried to email you but you didn't post your email address on your message. Where did you get your recipe for leadbeaters?
I think 3 eggs are alot even for a double batch. Maybe you use small eggs? I use 1 large boiled egg in a single batch and two large boiled eggs in a double batch.
Here is my modified Leadbeaters recipe
Taronga Zoo Glider Diet -

Modified Leadbeaters Mix

Apple Juice: 1/2 cup
Honey: 1/2 cup
Shelled boiled egg: 1
High-Protein baby cereal: 1/2 cup
Linatone (Canine Vitamin supplement): 2 teaspoons
Wheat Germ: 1/4 cup

Dump everything in a blender and puree until lump free. I pour it into an
airtight plastic container and freeze it, so it won't spoil before it's all
used. It freezes to about the consistency of ice cream, so it's easy to
scoop out a serving of it each night.


(My Version)
1 (4 oz) bottle Gerber Mixed Fruit Juice w/yogurt (& added calcium)
1/2 cup honey
1 egg, scrambled or boiled w/shell
1/2 cup baby cereal
2 teaspoons RepCal
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 (2 1/2 oz) jar of (stage 2) Heinz chicken baby food

Mix well in blender. Freeze in Tupperware bowl. Thaw 1 tablespoon per
glider each night. Also feed veggies and fruit every night.

This will feed two sugar gliders for approximately 1 month.

Is this similar to the recipe that you have?
