: 1) WHAT ALL CAN YOU GIVE YOUR GLIDER FOR HIS CALCIUM AND HOW MUCH.
: I HAVE GOT SOME STUFF CALLED REPTOCAL THAT I GOT AT THE LOCAL PET STORE(IT IS FOR REPTILES) IS THIS OKAY TO USE?? HOW MUCH & HOW OFTEN IF I USE IT??

i use the rep-cal with vit d3, from what i have heard it is better because the d3 helps calcium absorption.... i normally sprinkle it on the crickets when i give it to them....about 6 crickets a peice a week

: 2) WHAT ALL SUPPLEMENTS SHOULD I BE GIVING HIM?? HOW OFTEN??

it really depends on what you are feeding them....if you use a well rounded diet...you shouldn't really need to suppliment at all....all i do is the calcium and glideraid myself.

: 3) NECTAR, AND JUICES HOW OFTEN AND HOW MUCH DO YOU GIVE THEM?? DO YOU PUT ON FOOD OR SEPERATE??

i noramlly just give mine the glideraid to drink daily, they won't drink anything else....i nrmally do 2 teaspoons of powder to 4oz water, and 4oz fruit juice...

i am far from an expert on this....but that's what i do, and mine seem to be doing good so far...just make sure you feed a varity of fruits and veggies, and protein of some kind (bugs,meats, commercial feeds) and you should do fine....remember diet should be 25-30% protein (opinions vary on exactly how much)
