Sugar Glider pellet things? If its Briskys do not feed them with your diet, throw them out or sell them to someone who is on the strict Briskys diet. If its the Pretty Pets crap just throw them out and dont think twice. Its nothing more than like bird food flavored like fruit loops, its really garbage. Why would you buy the Gliderade when your diet is fine with the leadbeaters, bugs and fruits/veggies? I know, you're confused so let me explain, the gliderade is just mixed with water and will do 2 things. It will fill them up on liquid since its like a nectar once mixed. It will also give them excess vitamins which makes them stinky. The leadbeaters was made to be a staple diet(I mean the leadbeaters plus the fruit veggies and extra protein..the whole thing) so adding any extra calcium would hurt them, or adding any extra vitamins would make them stink.
Here's a tip, dont add too much fruit to the leadbeaters mix or the glider will fill up on the liquid from the fruit and not eat what it needs to eat. Monkey biscuits are ok, as long as you dont try to make it like part of a normal diet..if she's just picking at them then it sounds fine. I hear she's a sloppy eater, well, I dont really have any suggestions for that unless you try putting it in one of those dishes that hang from the side of the cage?
7 am, well, take it out then if you have to leave then. You want to avoid letting it sit there for awhile.

  • You dont have to- Gliders are not rodents and their teeth dont continually grow. If you want to its fine and the Monkey biscuits are good. n/m Kim 16:08:31 04/13/2000 (1)
