rite now, i have changed to Mary H diet, to see if the kids will eat this concoction any better than what they had already tried. i don't know how these guys continue to never eat, but yet don't loose the weight(of which i am grateful for) Maggie is 184-Mollie is 179-Duckie is 156-Gizmo is 153. they are active, & get along great. but, i always throw out more than they eat, so, one time, i only put 1 cube of veggie, & 1 cube of fruit (rather than the prescribed diet of 1 cube per 2 gliders),& there was still some left over. Mary's diet is 1 cube ensure, 1 cube yogurt, 2 cubes mixed veggies, 2 cubes fruit, & add 1 cube each into the fruit & veggie mixes w/chicken blended in. i do hope i have it correct, this is their 2nd nite on this new form of a diet. they ate very little of the ensure, or yogurt, but they did eat almost all of the chicken w/the fruit. i didn't give them mixed veggies last nite, as i was still needing to get some, but they do have the whole diet in their cage tonite. i do hope they will start eating everything in those 4 bowls soon. if they continue to not eat this one, say after 3 months or so, i will try one of these newer diets for them.

Please start your own topic on Mary's diet if you would like to discuss that and leave this topic for the current diet being discussed.

I do have a question though, as I do not understand the concept. What purpose would you have the vet run fecals for monitoring a new diet? What would they find in fecals that a new diet would cause? And if fecals are the right test to run, wouldn't you have to have a current fecal while on their current diet for comparing the results? I can for sure get fecals done before the HPW Plus batch is done and offered. I must have missed reading about blood being taken during vet checks...if that will give a better, overall answer to how they are doing on/before the HPW Plus...I obviously wouldnt be opposed to it, altho the thought of my sweeties being uncomfortable with the blood drawing process makes me cringe a little... Excessive amounts of bee pollen shows up (or CAN show up) in their poop, so I like for my vet to check that specifically from time to time to see if my gliders bodies are utilizing the bee pollen or if its just "running thru" them. So far, he's never seen anything he would call an "excessive" amount so I'm happy there.

Night 4 with the sample batch of the HPW Complete and the bowl has been licked clean every night. Even if I put the veggie mix they aren't as crazy about, all is gone with only a few stray pieces. They even opted to pig out on the HPW first instead of my berry blend that they really enjoy! WooHoo! A mix they like . The next batch I make will be the HPW Plus. Since I did a small batch, only 1/3 of the recipe, I'll be able to try the other stuff soon. Thanks to Peggy for a great product....
