I feed Brisky's and only give a little dried fruit, freeze dried mealworms, or crickets as treats. Brisky's is a complete balanced diet, and if you add other foods, you are making it unbalanced, which could lead to health problems. You gliders will get used to it, though it may take a week or two, but they won't starve theirselves. Mine have been on it for over a year now, and jump right into the dish at feeding time.

Briskys is supposed to be a complete diet. Using it as part of a diet is asking for HLP. And seeds? I have never heard of people feeding their glider seeds. Your suggestions are dangerous. If this is what you are feeding your gliders PLEASE rethink it before your gliders die of malnutrition. Dick Brisky suggests using pellets and only minor treats as a diet. As I have said I do not approve of this but if you do go this way do not use it as part of a varied diet. Briskys use is far different from monkey biscuit or Mazuri omnivore use.

: : : I am a little confused about the Brisky diet. Are the pellets all the food the gliders get, or are you supposed to add fruit, veges, mealworms, and/or supplements? Is the diet with leadbeaters, fruit, and veges better? Thanks for the input.

: : :Yes feed it to them , but that isnt all they should feed them it is mearly part of the diet. put it in theyre bowl every night along with fruit vegetabls and seeds
