there is a link on my diets page called dietary links, the one with the usda nutritional data base is the best one I have found, it lists each and every ingredient for each food. The happy glider food, if that is the one by pet pro, is not healthy by itself, and I know you said it is added to your diet, but if her diet was fine before.. then why change it? why add the glider food now?.. a firm believer in "if it isn't broke don't fix it" Also you asked about her.. the only thing I have seen is that she has been an advocate for this food. It isn't a proven food, it states that on their package.. as was said before, anyone can put stuff together and package it and sell it as glider food. As long as they make money on it. what do they care? The pet food isn't regulated by the USDA, unless it is for human consumption.. We have seen many foods come and go, and some stay.. but that doesn't mean we aocate it for OUR gliders, you have to find out what is best for you..but becareful in oversupplimenting while trying to avoid the under supplimenting..that goes with proteins, calcium, selinium, phosphorus. just a note.. did you know that too little and too much of all these below can cause the same symptoms?
calcium
protein
vit k
selinium
vit e

I will find the links for the different minerals and vits, so you can look through each one.. Also you want to be careful when mixing different diet plans..find a plan, stick to it..
