I feel really saddened by what I have just read,
1. If you had done and continue the research you will find that most major breeders as well as many vets agree that the 75/25 diet is no longer acceptable.. in fact there was a symposium done that attested to that written by dr. Pye and aided by many other people. Some gliders don't metabolize their calcium and protien the same as others, for those the briskys is not sufficient. some gliders require more, especially while breeding.
2. You have already doomed this glider without utilizing all your resources..
3. A change of diet is HIGHLY recommended, as well as a neutering.. Now if you were really into this for the gliders and not the money that you think you will make, then why not?
4. I have worked with many gliders..and what you have is not a bad glider, but one that feels scared, hence all the biting..as long as she doesn't feel safe, then why would she allow her babies to be born and raised to also feel that way?
yes at this time I feel as most others here..
but i also must add that if you are so quick to destroy a gliders life, that maybe you yourself, don't need to own them, as they are much like people in the fact each one has it's own personalities and its own fears.. would you expect your children to be perfect? or you would kill them..becasue if your answer is yes, you better thank your parents for not feeling that same way...
