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 thanks for ur advices
will use back the spoon given but the sukatan there is for 1 time serve. aite?
but do i really need the Wombaroo Milk Replacer?
becos shes eating well
only the hpw x habes

QUOTE(SugarCoatedCandy @ Jun 16 2009, 10:11 AM)
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

gutload?
how?
giving them sawi & oat?
i did.kelvin & eric teach me that

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..

i think i'll get the milk replacer because as u said eric,mine is underage..
i dont want to risk her life shakehead.gif
btw how much is it?

lol 1 teaspoon of that small spoon?
so little..

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.

hmmm but if the ingredients are different then i think it shud be fine isn't it?
one will provides calcium & one will provides protein
anyway it is a question..lol

QUOTE(kelvin_faye @ Jul 6 2009, 09:07 AM)
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?
*
lol im currently still feeding hpw...and hpw always licin one everytime i served
i simpan the slurp 1st.. after my mixture of hpw finish then only i serve the slurp pulak

yaa im not hardcore AT ALL
not even softcore pon
sry la for questioning that kind of question
notworthy.gif
