Traci, since that is the case, what have you been feeding them that could cause the gas build up? The only reason I ask is because of the big *gas Myth* thread we had going on a while back and if indeed gliders could or could not pass gas. This is very interesting as it is the first time I have heard of this one.

If you want to know what a person is like, watch how he treats others.

You'll never know what the outcome is if you don't step up and try.

I was also reading that other thread!! When I first got them, they were on the Custom Cage Works recommended diet - Mazuri pellets, fresh fruits and veggies. They had been on Judie's BML since September 1st. I was feeding a mixture of fruits and veggies, not just the ones from Burbon's "Back to Basics" list. They got broccoli, red and green peppers (which they never ate), a little romaine lettuce, mango, orange once in a while, grape tomato once in a while. That's all I can think of right now. Then since they weren't eating anything at night on their own, I started feeding them Darcy's diet on October 20th. With that they only ever ate egg for their protein and the only thing they got that wasn't on Burbon's list was Mango - but they weren't eating any of it anyway. So it was on October 26th that the original X-ray was done where the vet saw the gas. So I guess that doesn't really help! Could it have been building since before the Darcy's diet, or was it the Ensure and/or egg that caused it? I know there's egg in BML too, but it's pretty spread out by the time everything's mixed up. Sorry, I can't unravel the *gas Myth* other than to say they DO get gas!! blush
