Betsy, I got my recipe from my vet who got it from a colleague who studied gliders in Aus. for a year. According to the sheet I was given, it is also the Taronga Zoo diet. But, I only do Half of the recipe given. So, I end up using 1 and one half hard boiled eggs, not much more than you. But, my measurement come up to about what you have. The recipe I got was in millileters and such, so I had to convert it on my calculator, so I came up with ounces. Basically I have 8 oz water and honey, 1 1/2 egg, 3 oz baby cereal, and 1 1/2 tsp of Vionate. I was wondering, why use a canine supplement? Everything I have seen says to use reptile stuff or small mammal stuff. : : 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? : You can email me if you want - Betsycc@att.net
