I would like to try the leadbetters recipie but my concern is with the honey. I seem to remember a breeder telling me to use only pasturized honey-because the unpasturized may contain botulism spores which can be fatal for your gliders. The mix says nothing about using pasturized honey. For those that use the mix do you use pasturized honey?

I did some research and pure unpasturized honey does have the potential to have botulism spores in it. That is why infants under the age of two and elderly sick people are never supposed to have unpasturized honey. Therefore, I suppose that if it is bad for a baby or the elderly it is probably bad for the gliders.
