: I went back and reread your previous posts. Actually it sounds like you are using a bunch of different ones used together. If you glider ends up picking what he/she likes best you may be throwing it out of balance.

: Please check out this site and read about all the different diets.

: I use a 4 day rotational diet which is fruits vegs and protien during a 4 day period with accufeed alway's available.
: Please be careful with mixing so many diets, I'd hate for you to end up with a sick glider

I am curious about this four day rotational diet. It forces the glider to eat a strict 25% protein, 75% fruits/veggies over a four day period?
But what if the nutritional requirement is more like 33% as has been suggested by recent research? Wouldn't separating the parts of the diet over several days give time for a nutritional deficiency to develop?
