: Depends on what mix you are using. I use Bourbon's mod. leadbeaters and all I feed is what they will eat in fruits/veggs. = a 2:1 ratio. That mix also doesn't require (sp) and extra proteins. I feed crickets and other things in moderation to the diet itself. You can read about this here:

No extra protein is needed? I thought more protein needed to be added to keep the ratios right. We fed our (2) 5 month old gliders the Leadbeaters last night and they ate about 1 tablespoon between then with about 2 tablespoons of extra fruit. Does this sound normal? I have just been concerned that they haven't been eating the other protein foods we tried, except the mealworms or crickets.
