Hi April,

It sounds like your diet is way light on protien. Bourbon has posted a recipe for leadbeaters that sounds pretty good. I use Mazuri Omnivore, which can be ordered at your local feed store in 40 lb. bags. You should, at the very least, add mealworms, crickets, hard boiled eggs with shells on, or scrambled eggs with shells in them.

I would also recommend adding more vegetables. I use frozen mixed vegetables, just thaw and serve.

I also feed small mice about once a week.

: I was able to "talk" my female gliders to coming close to me and to my surprise they are all pregnant!! So I have 6 pregnant females! Gonna have my hands full for the new year! LOL...thanks for the....Can anyone tell me if my diet is good enough for them?

: 1 table spoon plain yogurt
: fresh apples
: fresh oranges
: a bit of applesauce
: fresh cantalop
: kiwi
: bananas

: Is the applesauce going to hurt them since it is sweetened? I only gave them enough to give it the sweetness...usually I leave it out. Is this a good diet? once a week I also give them one peanut each to give them protein. I have read that pinkie mice are good should I try them? Thanks
