I've got a couple of questions about diet and light.
I'm finding contradictory information about vit. D3, namely
that gliders need around 1/2 hour or so of sunlight per day
to allow their bodies to process vit. D1 to D3. Of course,
strong sunlight hurts their eyes... Would a plant light
(full spectrum) work as an alternative, not being as bright
but still providing the right spectrum, or will this also
be harmful to their eyes? Since I'm feeding mine the
Rep-Cal w/D3, can I ignore this quandry?
My second question is mainly out of curiosity. I've seen a
lot of references regarding a high calcium to phosphate
ratio, or explaining the need for calcium/protein/D3. Does
phosphate serve a dietary purpose, and can a SG become
phosphate deficient? I suppose in relation to this, is there
a recommended calcium/phosphate ratio?

Thanks,
Sean
