: 1. Will someone make a list of commercial glider food and where it can be bought?

There is Briskys, there is also Mazuri Omnivore Zoo Feed, which I use. They are at
www.mazuri.com/pmi_source/mazuri/intro.aspl

this food only comes in 40 pound bags, but Clara is selling smaller amounts or I can sell it to you - e-mail for more info.

: 2. Can a glider be over fed? What is the right weight for a glider?

I leave dry Omnivore available 24/7 and give fresh fruit or vegetables daily and treats (nuts,etc.) sparingly.

: 3. If one feeds glideraid, omnivore pellets, repcal, some of the other commercial feeds, when is one over doing it on the viatimns and such.

Briskys and omnivore pellets contain most of the vitamins and minerals needed, though I still give calcium to mine.

: 4. If bugs are one of there natural foods, what kind of bug can be fed without worring about to much fat?

Just don't over do it with bugs.

: 5. If seeds and nuts are natural, how much of those can they eat. Are we talking one or two a night, none, a handful.

Maybe 1 nut per day (I don't give nuts to mine).
