Thanks! And thank you for the link. :: I have really been worried about accidentally feeding them a fruit that was bad for them so I have stuck with the few I know to be safe. This makes for a very boring fruit selection.

I really didn't want to make a mistake with these little girls.
I rescued them from a person who was feeding only yogurt mixed with bugs and berries powder. Twinkie is morbidly obese, and the other little girl is really picky.
Your info should help me finish straightening out their diet.
Thanks!

I am so sorry to hear that someone else did take good care of the girls - BUT I am excited and happy to hear that you are now given them a good home for the rest of their life.
I would love to see PICS of the girls.... here is a PIC of my boys from tent time last night.
I am pretty sure you can..... but honestly I have not made them yet (just the v-relish) - so that will have to be a question for the creator of it all - SweetGliders.
Hi, Yes you can freeze both the veggie relish and the fruit smoothie. Then once you pop out a veggie cube or a smoothie cube you will place it in the gliders dish and it usually thraws out like a slush or relish so the gliders lick it or pickup the chunks. You can puree blend either recipe, but I like to make it like the relish chop style so the gliders can use their hands to eat and Yes, to answer a few other peoples questions, they will get their BML, a Fruit smoothie cube & veggie cube everynight.
Hope I have answered everyones questions, if not keep the questions coming.
[quote=SweetGliders] (oh and you can change up the mixed veggie too, just be careful on getting the mixed veggie's with lima beans in them.)
Please clarify? Do or do not get the mixed veggie's with lima beans?? I can never find mixed veggie's combined that only have green beans, corn, peas, and carrotts. Asked my husband to get me the mixed veggie's at the store today and he bought the one with lima beans.
I want to try the veggie relish b/c lately I have noticed my baby some nights won't even touch the veggie's unless it is corn or peas.
You sometimes can find serveral different name brands of vegetables that are just the plain mixed vegetables and sometimes you can find the bags with just peas and carrots together. So then I just buy bag of corn and a bag of greens beans and mix them all together. Or if you live near a Wal-Mart they have just the peas, carrots, corn and greens beans in their brand (freezer section). Or do what Rhapsody did, make your own.....
No grapes? WHY? I have fed them to mine and they love em. Will stop until I hear if they are ok. Am going to make some of those smoothies and vegie relish.
Thanks Tosca

From my understanding.... there have been some reported deaths to SG that were feed GRAPES (and other animals as well) - so many SG Owners do NOT prefer to feed them to their SG (better safe than sorry).
There are some articles on here about this problem.... maybe some one that knows where they are located will be so kind as to post a link for you to read about it.

Use the fruit list thats available, but change it up. Try 3-4 different fruits that your gliders already like, then add the honey & yogurt an see what your babies think. Thats how I started out. With the fruits that my babies already liked.
A lot of people feed grapes, but some feel as though they may be harmful. I think they are just being safer than sorry, but I do not personally think it is any cause for harm, since many people on here have been feeding grapes for years to their gliders and have had no problems. If you don't feel comfortable with the fact that some believ grapes could cause death in a SG, then certainly don't feed grapes. This is off-topic so I don't mean to interupt the current smoothie topic, just my 2cents.
Btw I hope to try your smoothie recipe cause my gliders don't eat squat for fruits and veggies.

I've been up all night so all this information is jumbling in my head right now! (yay for nocturnal antics with my glider!)
I feed the BML diet, Half a cube (1 tbsp) a night (plus veg and fruit) and my question is just to clarify before I do this... It IS ok to feed him a half cube of both the relish and the smoothie along with the BML every night with no missing days or alternating veggie one day fruit the next?
I was just worrying about the amount of honey/yogurt intake he was going to get overall really.
So yes this has probably been answered in this topic but as I mentioned the brain is a little mushy this morning lol... forgive me!

And as an FYI, my hairless rat "Buddy Love" also enjoys little tastes of the BML!!! .. as if he wasn't fat enough already!
