PML questions - 06/07/05 09:31 PM
Philip, Lillian, and Oscar will be due to go in for their checkups coming up very soon. When I take them in I want to talk to my vet about possibly switching my gliders to the PML diet due to their lack of interest in regular BML. Yes, I've tried everything to get them to stay interested in it. They will eat it sometimes but mostly they just eat their fruits and veggies and only a few little licks of the BML. All others are doing wonderful on the BML, but these picky little stinkers are so finicky. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> I've tried Judie's BML, icing it, going back to basics, etc... I've tried for over a year to get these 3 to stick with a healthy diet and they only stay interested for about a month before going back to just the fruits and veggies. So now that I'm at my wit's end and I'm hearing such success with the PML diet my curiosity is up. Before I take this diet in to my vet for her approval I want to be certain I have it right. In another thread Pockets says that the following is the recipe for the PML mix:
</font><blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr />
"Pockets Modified Leadbeater's"
Warm Water - 450ml (bottled only)
Honey - 400ml
Shelled-boiled eggs - 2 (egg-land's best organic)
Wombaroo High Protein Supplement - 30 grams
I mix the warm water & honey, then add the eggs blend & then add the Wombaroo High Protein Supplement & blend
I am able to change the protein level very easily by adding or subtracting amount in "PML" & I do (will explain at later date)
NOTE: Wombaroo High Protein Supplement contains more than "TWICE" the protein as High Protein Cereal so less than half is needed
<hr /></blockquote><font class="post">
This part I understand I think...I'll have to figure out how to convert the amounts, but that's no problem. What I need to know is, what type of fruits and veggies are to be fed with PML? Is it like BML where the Ca:Ph ratio makes up for the lack of calcium in the fruits and veggies? Or do you have to only feed fruits and veggies with positive Ca:Ph ratios? Do my babies have to give up their beloved corn all together? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Also, what amount of mealies or other protein should be given if any? I have already ordered the Bee Pollen and Acacia Gum from BigErn and I'm awaiting a call from Geoff from Perfect Pets as we speak about the HPW. I'm really hoping my vet will approve since I've already ordered most of the supplies. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" /> Anyway, I would appreciate any input on this diet from only the people who are currently using it. I don't want a debate....only facts or tips since I will be taking this to my vet for approval. If you have reason why you disagree with this diet please do not post here but you are welcome to send me a PM. I will be glad to listen to your concerns through PM. I know how volatile these diet threads can become with just one cross statement. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'd hate to have to shut down my own thread. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" />
BTW, if you all have the time I'd love to have a print out of the diet EXACTLY how you feed it...maybe an example of what you'd serve your gliders along with the PML.
