How fat is fat? - 10/20/08 09:15 AM
I've mentioned before that I got my first glider from PPP. She was on their diet before I learned that it is not healthy. She was VERY underweight, so I put her on Darcy's Diet as soon as I found GC. After a while she wouldn't eat the fruits, veggies, or protein (only the Ensure) even when I put the Ensure in a few hours after the others. Therefore I decided to go to a more blended diet so she couldn't pick what she gets to eat. I slowly got her on the Priscilla Price diet and since she has been on it I have noticed rapid weight gain in both her and her cagemate (who has always been what I assumed to be a "normal" weight).
So my question is...what does an obese glider look like? I am worried that I will allow my gliders to gain too much weight and it will risk their health. I don't have a scale so I am trying to base this solely on appearance. If they ARE too big, how can I help them lose weight?
