QUOTE(afcmh @ Jul 7 2009, 12:50 AM) oic, i tot hpw only high in protein becoz of the name itself Just pick a staple diet okie~ Tapi kenot all 3 at once.. Or 2 at once.. Only satu! XD I have been on HPW, Nezu's smoothie and also Hun's Slurp.. The only one i can see difference is the HPW. But its up to your choice. It's your glider and as a owner you will make wise choices kay ^^ We are here not to 'paksa' what to feed your gliders~ unfortunately the slurp i bought got chicken inside.. yaa eric i'll stick to hpw 1st thanks yaa for the very useful info |

We shouldn't feed our glider RAW honey.
MUST use processed honey for ur HPW. U use one 500g bottle of honey for one batch of HPW, which last about 4months for one glider. You calculate, actually your glider doesnt really consume a lot honey perday. It's not good to OVERFEED anything, no matter fruits or supplement. |

Gliders are picky eater, sometime even if we prepare and provide them well balanced fruits and vege, they will choose those they like and eat.. and this lead to nutrition lacking if happens for long period..
Glider Booster is a supplement that actually helps to replenish the nutrition that your glider lack or short of.. To ensure they get all the nutrition they need. |

Smoothie is a term that we used for 'blended fruits and vege' ..
Glider are picky eater, so sometime they don eat those fruits/vege that we give..So you can blend some fruits and vege together, with some yogurt/honey/juices... then keep inside freezer.. so it becomes fruit smoothie~ U can use ur own imagination and create ur own recipe. But the 'smoothie' u see here are Uncle Taro Smoothie. it's a product created by Nezumitaro. The smoothie is glider staple diet- BML Diet. Before that, glider owner feeding BML diet becoz petshack haven bring in HPW yet. |

Jus what SCC and loritanah mentioned, baby food and fruits is not balanced diet for glider.
Heinz baby food are meant for human baby.. not for glider.. u can feed as treats but not daily diet. |

hi everyone, i'm a noob here and my baby glider absolutely refuses vegies and the hpw unless i premix it with the papaya or other fruits...as in there's no need for separate containers for hpw and fruits vegies or dry pellets..lagi he tak mo pandang pun!! actually throws it out and this lil guy has been with me about less than 3 weeks..joan saw him already and she said he was small but not severely underaged and dr hasnul of heshmael's clinic has given him a clean bill but dang!! fella's picky picky picky..kalu i blend vegies into the mix lagi he wont eat it at all..i tried the if you dont eat this you get nuthin at all approach and he simply goes into his pouch and sleeps!!
and he isnt very nocturnal either, he's up around 6 am like us and then melompat dgn riang ria eating his fruit shake and wombaroo milk til 8-9am pas tu baru he sleeps and he is up and about after 6pm and when we go to bed at 1130, the lil guy pun masuk pouch and sleeps... apa cite mamat kenit nih? do i just let he be for now? |
