Kitten milk? Wow... kitten milk is quite bad coz the lactose in kitten milk is quite high. There is only 1 brand in Malaysia which can be fed to gliders and that is called Pets Own. It is lactose free. Marsupials are very sensitive to lactose, a kangaroo joey can die from drinking cows milk... their body cannot digest or tolerate lactose well so a lactose free milk is needed. Soya milk or corn milk or rice milk are not good substitutes at all. If I were you, I would discontinue the milk. Never trust petshop owners. They will give all sorts of advice which can do more harm than good coz they never do research.

Baby food has not enough nutrition, mostly containing loads of Vit A and C, little to no calcium and some are high in phosphorus, please give a good Leadbeater's BML mix, you can google to find out. Gliders need calcium and a good amount of protein to grow healthily. By leaving out essentials in their diet, they can have a weak immune system or stunt the growth.....

For now, stop the milk and jar babyfood.... read up on BML mix for gliders and start feeding that.
True loh.... the recommended milk is Wambaroo marsupial or glider milk. We do not have it here. Next best thing is Puppy Esbilac but Malaysia don't have while Singapore got.... but a small tin of 8oz I think cost $30!!! Convert here plus shipping.... maybe RM70 to Rm80 already..... so far now only Pets Own suitable.
Wah, bawa here everywhere hahahah... big adventure.

Any juice that is not citric, has no added sugar and preservatives can be given to gliders as treats.



REALLY???? OMG...... v jus think tat milk is ok for them.... okok, from now on v wil stop it..... n wil try the BML mix,
n may i know where in Malaysia can get tat Pets Own?? i m at PG
