Bear with me, because this is going to be a long post:
I have had my gliders since June 2011. I had them on the standard Pocket Pets diet until I switched to a popular staple diet in July. I kept them on this diet until I noticed something strange..... I will post pictures so you can see what I have seen over the months.
We will begin with Ziggy.
This is Ziggy.
Ziggy in October
December
January
and today, Feb 18. after ONE month on a new diet
That was probably pretty subtle. So, lets move on to Gizmo
Gizmo

November

and today, Feb 18. after ONE month on a new diet
now lets move on to Cocoa.

November (I enhanced the color some)
December
January
and today, Feb. 18 after ONE month on a new diet
her back...
now, scroll back up and look at the pic of Cocoa's face, now look at her face today (keep in mind, it's only ONE month after a change of diet)
I think I'm going to have to give her a new name as she's not so "Cocoa" colored anymore
I post this thread because I am FLOORED!!!!! I thought I had them on a GREAT diet! I thought Cocoa just had some cinnamon in her that made her look so tan. But she was stained ALL OVER! Even Gizmo's flawless fur is almost back to a normal bright/clean gray and black. ... Ziggy, well, he must just have good genetics  cause his didn't change too much.

That is a huge difference Lisa! Doesn't even look like the same glider. Congrat |

The latest update on my suggies's fur improvement. Since Cocoa was the one with the most staining, I wanted to show everyone this impressive photo I put together!

I'd like to update this thread. Many of you have kept up with my trio's progress not to mention how floored all of us were when we realized Cocoa wasn't a cinnamon, but a very stained standard grey. So, without further adeau, my babies, today- April 19, 2012. They have been on LGRS suggie soup for 4 months.
ZIGGY!!!
GIZMO!!!
COCOA!!!

I wanted to give an update on my suggies. It's been about a month or so and I wanted to post some new pics of them. I don't have my good camera, so the photos just won't do them any justice, but you can see that their fur is still improving. Once I get my good camera back from my mom, I will take pics of them again so you all can REALLY see their improvement. Hubby can't tell the 3 of them apart anymore and I can't believe how beautiful Cocoa's fur is becoming.
First is Gizmo. His butt still has just a little brown staining on it and that's about it
and here is Gizmo again ... he and his pretty white belly!
Ziggy didn't feel like getting his pic taken, so I only got one of him. Still, his fur looks nice
And Miss Cocoa. The camera I used shows a lot more brown than there actually is, but I think everyone can still be impressed at her transformation as she continues to begin looking like a standard gray rather than a cinnamon
LGRS is the best for what it's doing for my babies
I really hope Ed gets a chance to check out this thread because I'm just floored by this, still. |

It is EN's that I'm talking about, I meant it wasn't the same page. |

That is EN's, so... maybe there is another instant out there? What site was it on? |

In my opinion, Istant is also more nutrtionally sound than complete. I found the ingredients somewhere but forgot to bookmark it... |
Grace Posted - Feb 28 2012 : 04:57:59 AM
No, Complete is not the same as instant. Instant on exoticnutrition.com has HPW in it, complete does not |
FireGirl72 Posted - Feb 28 2012 : 03:57:41 AM
is this the same as the HPW instant listed on exotic nutrition.com? |

I guess because I look at them every day, it's harder for me to notice these things. Cocoa is looking better by the day. Hopefully this week I can get recent pics of them and continue this thread.  |

that's how long it took me to notice something funky going on with their fur. The original problem was that their fur was cracking... then I took pics in January was was like "waaaaa?!"  when I noticed Gizmo's fur was so brown. Gizmo only has a little brown staining on the base of his tail and Cocoa's is still going away. Their fur is crackly right now and I am not sure why, but I'm continuing to work on figuring all this out. |

my gliders look great and they're on complete.
Yes Pocket Pets / ASGV Sells Glider Gravy which is repackaged HPW Complete.

Bump to see if anyone else has had this problem (orange color) on HPW Complete. |
Omis n Kais g-ma Posted - Feb 20 2012 : 09:43:16 PM
Wow, looking real good. Hope we get good results like that soon. |
Skittlebutt Posted - Feb 20 2012 : 07:58:16 PM
I've had my babies on HPW w/ fruits and veggies since nov/dec ish. The baby has kept her beautiful color. The one I first got still has discoloration. I've noticed some improvement, but still brown!! She had a battle with some parasites that took us 3 vet visits in 3 weeks before we cleared her. Do you think that could also cause a delay or issues with the coloring? |
viciousencounters Posted - Feb 20 2012 : 02:11:35 PM
HP Complete, wow. I wonder if anyone else has experienced something similar with their gliders fur or if gliders really do metabolize every diet differently. |
AbtZooGirl Posted - Feb 20 2012 : 12:10:46 AM
**Bump** |
jjmurph Posted - Feb 19 2012 : 01:45:53 PM
Wow that's a huge change...they look nice now though |

Oh, heavens no. They were on PP pellets, apples, etc for just a month or so. I found the original HPW, switched after a month- Then they were on HPW Complete for 6 months. |
