Bourban, If you have a fax machine I would be happy to fax a copy of the flyer that I got with my food. If not maybe I could try and scan it and send you the file to read. I am not a computer wiz. but I could give it a shot.
I am satisfied with all of the research that BPP's has done with their food. I personally think that it is a lot easier than guessing if they are getting the right amounts of nutrition. It was supposed to be formulated by PhD's/researching zoos, libraries, internet, breeder input, plus testing.
Treats that are suggested with the food are: (No more than 10% of the diet, otherwise balanced diet is thrown off) Raisin, pinky's, dried banana chips in limited quantites.
Hope this helps. If you ask him for a free sample he will also send you the Information Sheet on Accu-Feed.
: I have some questions that have been eating at me for some time..about Briskeys..
: I would like some REAL detailed help on this..
: 1. Why is it that Briskeys must be weaned into and out of a diet? Why can't you just feed that instaed of your regular food?
: 2. What foods can be safely fed with Briskeys?
: 3. Is Briskeys the only food they should have because of it being so very balanced?
: 4. What about the Mold Factor?
: 5. What is the safest way to store this so that it continues to be healthy?
: 6. What health risks are involved if these precautions are not taken ?
: 7. Why does it have such a short shelf life ?
: 8. Why is it that there are many Gliders that won't eat it at all ?
: 9. If they don't eat it why are we supposed to offer it alone , on the premise if they have nothing else to eat that they will eat the briskeys? I personally think that is forcing them to eat a certain food even if they don't like it.
