Hi, I'm kinda new in the neighborhood and, sometimes, not the brightest light on the ferris wheel (lol)... Please, what is PML? I'm familiar with BML but not P.

Ok, Let me see if I can answer this for all of you. Do keep in mind that my HPW mixutre is indeed different (slightly) from the PML formula. I went according to what my vet recommended and he is extremely experienced in exotics, including sugar gliders.

First off, the link for the Bee Pollen is Stakich
Their prices are reasonable and shipping is quick.

As for the recipe and feeding schedule for my gliders

High Protein Wombaroo Diet

1/4 c HPW powder (if you have breeding gliders or gliders that are nursing increase this amount to 1/2c)
2 c warm water
1-1/2c honey
3 scrambled eggs (I mix mine with a tad bit of milk)
2 tablespoons bee pollen

Cook eggs and set to side

In large bowl mix water and honey, stir until honey is dissolved. Add in HPW powder and mix well.

In blender add your eggs and bee pollen. Add 1cup of the HPW liquid mix and blend for 2 minutes. Add remaining HPW liquid and blend for another 2 minutes.
Pour in a freezer safe bowl with an airtight lid and place in freezer. Will scoop out like ice cream.

Feeding.

1-1/2 teaspoon HPW mixture
1 tablespoon mixed veggies
1 tablespoon mixed fruits

I also offer gliderade no more than twice a week.
mealies and crickets are for treats only.

I can not say enough good things about this diet. And once your gliders are on it, you will start to notice the difference in a two week time frame in most cases.

I had a lady come into my pet store, I had her change off the diet she had to this one, she recently said there was a huge difference in their coat, and asked if gliders got *winter coats in* I let her know the change in coat was from the diet.

Hope this helps you all out.

Now I am intrigued and am considering switching Meeko to this diet, he is currently on the BML diet plan but he doesnt seem to really enjoy it anymore and he barely eats it even if I ONLY give him the BML for 1-2 days so I am looking into different diets and this one sounds perfect!

I do have a question, can the egglands eggs be bought at say walmart or any other grocery store or do u have to get them from some place else?

I cant wait to try out this diet, I am going to buy the WHPS next week and give this diet a try.

Yes, the Wombaroo High Protein Supplememt is amazing stuff, but it is always advisable to discuss any diet changes with your vet first.

The Egglands is a brand of eggs (Egglands Best) and you should be able to find them in most grocery stores. I always get their organic eggs.

thanks so much!

Well, I try to stay out of diet talk, lol. But want to share what I know. I bought a box of the WHP when I heard it was hard to get, ordered it from TMarie a long time ago, but being a creature of habit, still made my BML every week, it did work for me and I'd never say a bad word about it, used it for 5 years. I think I just bought the WHP just in case I ever needed it and was going to use it on a older glider I had. But, didn't. So months went by and I ended up down in Texas at Peggys house. Now I think my gliders look great, but hers looked better (their coats) and her joeys looked like they were adults when the were only 7 weeks old, fluffy and full of life. Anyhow, I saw her feed it, smelled it, and, after thinking about it, said I'd go home and try it for one month, just to see. Well, I'll speak for the gliders, they love it, they eat every bit, lick it off your fingers like a baby does sugar, and it's always the first thing eaten and there is never any left over.

I had one who was just about to have joeys oop, and one that had joeys just drop into pouch. And several other non breeding gliders.

Well, that was about mid July, and my one month kept going and going, my gliders and I are hooked on it now and I can't see going back. I have just now noticed a change in their coats, fluffy and full. I personally think their ordor is down, and other than that, nothing has changed. My joeys and nursing mom's all did well on them, and I have some joeys now that are only 5 weeks old, and if I didn't know their oop date, I'd swear they were at LEAST 8 weeks old. The love it too.

So, I use the diet Peggy posted, and for us it's a thumbs up. I still belive in BML, but for my glider family, this is just working better for all of us.

You can also get the WHP and Bee Pollen from www.toandfrogliders.com

I am now sold on Wombaroo HPS. I have been messing w/their diet - they seem to eat anything, thank goodness (maybe they are just grateful the food shows up lol) --but the one thing I am sold on is the WHPS. Their coats are much nicer. It may be the veggie oils and omegas. . . . but whatever it is, their coats look great.

Ok I ordered the bee pollen and wombaroo, now I have another ?.

Whats the difference between the egglands best eggs and just plan eggs?

Egglands brand I believe is organic and others are just normal eggs. I just buy the cheapest ones there are, as long as they are the large ones.

okie dokie thanks, I am going to make a batch once I get the HPW and the bee pollen that I just ordered. I hope he loves it

Just now checking out the PML diet. I'll run it by my vet and see what he thinks.

BTW Lynsie I love the picture of your glider. What color variation is she? I know Karen in Kansas City when I met her was breeding a leucistic and a WFB in hopes of getting a glider with these markings but I can't remember what the color is called. BEAUTIFUL

ArkMom, Lynsie's avatar is her Naomi, she's a mosaic

This will be my boys 4th night. They love it, but I use the version with 1 T per glider with insectivore. They don't eat much of that, but the PML mix is licked clean by morning.
