GliderLove94 Fuzzy Wuzzy 1153 Posts SOMEONE PLEASE REPLY FAST! My mother wants to get a glider (I have been researching for a while.) and well she thinks that pellets and apple is okay! She also wants to buy from pocket pets and wants to feed their diet! After all the research i have done OMG I DONT WANT HER TO USE THE DIET THAT THEY SAY TO USE!! But my mom is convinced its like they have brainwashed her that only one glider is okay and that pellet with little bit of fruit is okay (they say just a slice of apple at night) she thinks its better because its cheaper and they say that it is better for them when it isn't! I have tried to explain to my mom a lot. She says that we don't need two and that as long as we are home all day we can just have one! UGHHHH! She also doesn't want to use the whole diet I was talking with her all about before we agreed on until she found stupid POCKET PETS! PLEASE HELP! HOW DO I CONVINCE HER THAT THIS IS THE WORST DECISION AND THAT IF SHE ONLY WANTS TO GET ONE AND FEED PELLETS THAT WE CANNOT GET - OR ARE NOT READY - FOR A GLIDER! shadow Goofy Gorillatoes MO, USA 2332 Posts its probably best if she talks to someone over the phone. www.luckyglider.org/luckyglider_005.htm
call ed and have her talk to him. he runs a huge glider rescue. they are also a legal rescue/charity so they are not just some random people. can you tell us what state you are in maybe there is someone near you or someone knows of a good vet that can talk to your mom about glider care or the vet can call these numbers to get more info about gliders Below is a list of Veterinarians that specialize in Sugar Gliders if your veterinarian does not know much about them, they will ONLY talk to another vet so you need to get to a vet and ask them to call one of these people! • Dr. Tim Tristan • 361-994-1145 • Dr. Bradley Walsh • 918-258-0040 • Dr. Andrew Grzanowski • 734-459-1400 maybe she will listen to a vet. i suggest you start another thread. you might get more responses that way.

This is my little boy, Suggie. I acquired him from a woman who kept him on a diet of fruits, pellets and parrot biscuits. A day after I got Suggie, I went online, ordered his rep-cal vitamins and got him started on BML asap. Now about half a year later, he's got a healthy, non-cracked coat!
i was browsing the web on what kinds of stuff to feed my two surgar gliders and i came across these pictures. I was totally unaware that the little ripples in their fur was a sign of a poor diet, when we first got are surgar gliders they lady gave us the BML diet and she also pre-mixed us some. Well we noticed that are gliders used the BML diet as a last choice meal, so we stopped making it. We just gave them apple juice mixed with water,green beans, fresh carrorts, frozen peas and green beans and fruit wise we gave them apple, mangoes, pears and we trying out bananas now and as treats we have mealworms, frozen crickets and parents choice yogurt bites, they go crazy for the yogurt bites! And sometimes for breakfest ill make them oatmeal, made with baby oatmeal ceral,apple juice and honey. They ripples are not as bad as they was when we first had them but now im a little worried!
