Okay, now this is just my opinion but I think you can add Gliderade to your diet without having to change much of anything.
You may want to feed the leadbeater's every other night alternating with gliderade.
: My Modified Version of Leadbeaters
: 1 4oz bottle Gerber juice with yoguart (Mixed Fruit or Bannana) both have yoguart mixed in
: 1/2 cup Honey
: 1 egg with shell (boiled or scrambled) (I Hard Boil Mine)
: 1/2 cup high protein baby cereal (I use rice with fruit bits)
: 2 teaspoons RepCal non-phosphorus with vit D3 in it. Pink and white jar (my petstore ordered it for me)
: 1/4 cup Wheat Germ
: 1 2 1/2 oz jar of Stage 2 Heinz chicken baby food
: mix it well in a blender, freeze in a tupperware bowl, or pour into an ice cube tray. 1 tablespoon per
: glider each night. It will freeze the consistancy of ice cream. If they eat it all the first night add a little
: more the next night till they leave only a little bit. This will feed 2 gliders for approximately1 month.
: After I spoon it into their bowl, I will mix in a few frozen veggies.. corn, peas, carrots. etc. In a side
: bowl offer other fruits and veggies. etc.. Also feed mealworms, crickets, moths . Mine won't eat the
: pinky mice, But if it is a bug.. Look out..Not too many of the mealworms though they are high in fat. If
: it moves, try it. In the summer the fav is man'o wars or skeeter eaters.. whichever people call them
: they look like giant mesquitos and june bugs.
: i feed it to them (4) about 2 tablespoons, 1 tblspoon per 2 gliders everynight , along with the veggies and fruits. They are also AE gliders so whatever I happen to eat as well during the day. Chicken, tomatoes, peas, fruits, mealworms, crickets, etc.. I don't fed them any other suppliments at all, and no commercial feeds. I have been using this successfully for 2 years, But if I were to try the glideraid.. I would like to know what modifications i would have to make. This recipe is good for 2 weeks for my 4 gliders so I guess in actuallity i guess that means each glider is only getting like a 1/4 of a teaspoon of repcal per 2 week period, which i bet is a lot less than those that dust their crickets with it. the list of variables as far as the food is far to long to list as far as what do they eat.. as a rough guess they eat about a tablespoon of various foods with me during the day and I offer about a tablespoons worth of fruits and veggies with the beaters..
