Find Bourbon's ledbetters recipe and add Neo-CalGlucon to it. The Neo-CalGlucon is expensive but it is necessary. If you are not using a vitamin supplement you MUST start immediately. The baby needs the D-3 as well as the calcium. Give eyedropper feedings of the ledbetters every two to three hours.
Chewing paper and carboard is normal in a healthy glider. In a sick glider it could be a sign of stress.
Run don't walk to your nearest Pharmacy for the Neo-CalGlucon.
