I am sure you could find something else, but I doubt it would be as healthy for your glider. The leadbeaters mixture really only takes a few minutes to make and you don't have to make it that often, b/c you can freeze it and use it for a while. It is also inexpensive to make.

On my site there is a section on what they eat. This might be helpful to you. Is the problem that you don't have freezer capabilities?<a href=http://www.toandfrogliders.com/FileHierarchy/InfoPouch/NewJoeyOwners/WhatTheyEat/WhatTheyEat.htm>http://www.toandfrogliders.com/FileHierarchy/InfoPouch/NewJoeyOwners/WhatTheyEat/WhatTheyEat.htm</a>

Actually it is easier to do the frozen way. Bourbon's Modified Leadbeaters is frozen, also veggies, applejuice, carrot juice. It makes life easy. I just make sure they have at least one thing to munch on every night.

I personally think bourbons diet is the best for gliders...but if you really dont want to freeze anything you could feed briskys accuffeed. However please be aware that a lot of gliders wont eat it. Also they get very little variety in this diet.

i also agree that bourbons diet is definitly the way to go, yeah it can be a bit of a hasle but its worth it.

Do not give seeds to it as treats. Maybe one or two per day is enough. But if it gets 2 much, fat will build up in its eyes and it'll go blind. And babies might also be born blind if the mother's too fat on nuts or seeds.
