wat do u mean by mixed hpw?

Don give timun la...doesnt reallly contains much nutrition for gliders. For more choices on vege u can try carrot, french bean, sweet potato, sweet peas and etc..

Do not feed carrot and sweet potato everyday as they contains high oxalates.

Ur joey is really small now, is not fully weaned joey. So her stomach is still haven fully develop yet, the 1 1/2 teaspoon is for fully 2months OOP glider portion.

Usually i would suggest you to feed with Wombaroo Milk Replacer first.. I used it before, very good and it helps a lot for underaged glider.

For the spoon, i think u better use back the small spoon given, unless u got the proper measuring spoon.. If you r using inproper spoon to mix, the amount of portion u giving might be less/more and the nutrition absord is thrown out...

Eric and Kelvin told me about your Joey afcmh, perhaps you want to try the Milk replacer like what eric said? Mixed HPW got 2 types. 1 you mix yourself with the blender. You provide the honey and fresh eggs and water. The other one is the already mixed HPW that jtl is also selling.

But all actually the same, they just make it convenient to your liking. For example some students dont have blender so they get the instant or the pre mixed one. I still prefer to mix my own XD

btw Make sure to gutload your mealworms nod.gif

Wombaroo Possum Milk Replacer is quite good, esp for those joey who detached from the mother earlier... It helps a lot in joey development. You can consider bout it.

Is ok if she cant finish the hpw now, since the portion is for adult glider. Mayb u can give 1teaspoon first...then only slow add on to 1 1/2 when u realise she finish up the hpw from time to time..

Check on the website for the price. Not to say risk her life but better for her health.

Yeah 1 teaspoon... A fully developed glider's stomach size is about our thumb size... So u imagine urself how big is ur glider stomach now..

Ermm , we r here to discuss about the diet, and i dont see ur post having anything bout diet to be discussed here..

I tot u r feeding HPW? if so, please research whether it is recommended to feed both hpw n slurp at the same time, coz ur baby will be overload with nutrients which is not good either..

If u havent get hpw before, then u may have a try on slurp..

U hav to stop feeding HPW if you are feeding slurp.

When we say feed 'at the same time', it doesnt mean tat u feed on the 'same' day or 'same' time..

Even if you Mon wed fri feeding hpw, Tue thur sat feed slurp..this is consider mix feeding 2 diet too.

And the nutrition balance will be thrown out. Make ur choice and stick with one diet. This is the basic rule of Glider Diet.

Both diet ingredients are different~ One contains calcium supplement, one does not.. one contains high protein one does not..

That is why we r not allowed to mix feeding diet...

And, if u keep swapping the diet like tat, it's not good for ur glider's digestive systems. Both contains totally different ingredients.

I think ur seller didnt remind u not to mix both the feeding?

Hmmm, isit just to SELL, then US here have to solve ur created problems by the SELLER?

In the first place, i tot u have researched well enuf for the diet, how come now u ask things like this? Not hardcore enuf ya! sweat.gif

Make some effort n go to Glider Central, no matter what ppl say, the HPW is new or so, go Glider Central to have a look, as differents ppl do use different diet for suggies, just that they dont comdemned other diet like the case in Malaysia.

If Glider-SLURP is really really the best out of 3 : HPW, Smoothie , Slurp; then i would definitely choose over this one, but as i have used all 3 before, HPW shows the most improvement. wub.gif

Would u see some improvement and wouldnt want to use the product?

Famy,

If u feed slurp and HPW at the same time, the calcium may be overdose.. And besides that, for slurp i think u nid to feed other protein source such as mealworms and eggs..

But HPW, not only provides the protein, it has calcium within the diet too.

Unless, the slurp is only fruits/vege blended smoothie..without any added supplements.. then u can use it together with HPW.
