I recently got two new girls and I prepared them the HPW diet and one of them absolutely loves it but the other seems to hate it. She gets all huffy when she notices her dry staple food is gone and has been replaced with the nightly prepared meal. She will then try to find small pieces of pellet that fell to the bottom of the cage throughout the day and crab if she does not find any. Any suggestions??

My only suggestion is to keep trying. They can be very picky and sometimes it takes a few times before they decide they like something. Are you feeding fresh fruits and vegtables too? At least she would have that to eat while she is deciding whether she is going to like it or not.

Sometimes when they aren't used to fresh fruits and veggies they are a tad confused. Just keep giving the fruits and veggies and the HPW,she will eventually realize that it's yummy yummy for her tummy. (wow that so went to 3rd grade) ~shakes my head and laughs~

Hope it all works out for you

Try to have the tray cleaned out from left overs and hopegully it'll force her to eat what you provide.

It could be that type of fruit or veggie. Try to see if the glider likes the fruit or veggie and then mix em together. My glider loves pappaya and cucumber most.

She may be filling up with the dry food you leave during the day. They don't reaaly need to eat during the day. The hungrier they are, the more likely they are to eat what you put in at night.
