: I'm a little concerned about my gliders. This is a problem I've had ever since I've owned them, but for some reason I didn't think to ask. Anyway, I can't really get them to eat anything with protein in it. Both of my gliders are way picky about what they want and it is usually only their fruit. I have been giving them a cherry desert baby food that contains egg yolks in it and they love that, but I don't really believe it is enough. Does anybody have any suggestions concerning some alternate ideas on how to get them their needed protein?

My two gliders are VERY picky eaters as well. One day they love honeydew melon, the next, they don't even touch it! For protein, I try and give them a little variety...Mine seem to love baby cereal -rice w/ apples and bananas-(for older infants) and I'll squeeze grapes and put the juice in there along with a little honey. Sometimes I'll put some low-fat plain yogurt in there too...it has a ton of vitamins and protein, but be careful not to overload because it might make them fat! I hope this helps!!!! :o)
