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

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

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.

Amazing improvemts!!! Congradulations!

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!!!

yay for a good diet!!! lol its such a huge change from how they started.

Your babies look awesome! Keep up the good work!

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!

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

I am now switching, my babies were eating the Instant HPW and they are turning brown as well

Realize that Original HPW is way different than all the other versions of HPW, and my gliders look the same as all the good pictures and no fur cracking. However if you want to feed this diet it is a very good diet. THere are several you can pick from and the pictures are impressive of the change.

ALso see the other post about the neutering because that will also cut out on the smell and the oil on your male glider.

I'm so glad I came across this post, I was actually considering trying complete but not anymore, I had a gut feeling about it before I even started my research. I think if more people are experiencing this they should definitely bring it forward, its good for new owners and people like me who have been out of the glider loop for acouple years and suddenly find an overwhelming amount of "hpw diets"..

Wow, Brit! This post is old. This must have really been troubling you. Nice research . Thanks for bringing it back. NOWWW I understand what people say when they say "yellow fur". I'm like, what's yellow fur?? Now I know .
Right now I have my baby girl on Candy's Glider Kids Staple #2 (Reduced Honey) from http://www.gliderkids-diet.com/Staple-Recipes.html
If I'm lazy or low on ingredients I will use HPW original, but I feel that the Glider Kids recipe is better.

I didn't even realize how old it was until after I posted HAHA oops, but my babies health & diet are very important to me and being out of the glider world for so long it's like I have to start from square one. I still have a few weeks before I pick him up, just want to be prepared! I'm going through old threads on hpw complete and I really don't see much positive feed back....sigh.

KOMPLETE MEME WAS FUNNY! LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND BY LuuLuu

Haha that's so cute, I know it made me laugh, I actually think I'm going to do candys hpw version. It's basically what I did for my previous gliders with no negative results. She had suggested I add calcium and I was doing it ever since. Now I need to research how to replace a needle on a sewing machine so I can start making cage sets again, oh jeeze. Trial and error, I'm sure my sewing skills aren't up to par either haha.

Yes, the calcium makes such a difference :). Aww, I just fiiiinaalllyy got a sewing machine not too long ago. I can't wait to finish my set, but I'm on the hunt for the perfect fleece. I'm sure you can find youtube videos about replacing the needle :)

Ty :) I always Google and YouTube everything haha.

I had this exact same thing happen when I switched all my babies over. They were on complete as well. LGRS is by far the best diet out of all the staples in my opinion. I have tried them all. My Suggies have been eating this for over 2 years now and are beautiful!!

So you are all saying that LGRS is better tha the HPW Complete? Now I'm getting confused!!! Everyone I talked to love the HPW Complete. I'm going to have to research this some more.

Ok i am confused now also!!!! lol this is the diet i feed them. is it a good diet or should i consider something else???

The recipe you posted is for the Original HPW diet. Not HPW Complete.
And yes, it's a good diet.

thank you so much tsugie. i am new on here and a new mommy and already have posted mulitiple questions lol.

The "HPW Complete" and "HPW Plus" are from Critterlove.com, HPW Instant from Exotic nutrition.

They are pre-packaged the "HPW Instant" and "HPW Complete" are just add water, the "HPW Plus" you add the eggs, honey and bee pollen yourself.

The OHPW and the Gliderkids staple recipes use the Wombaroo High Protein powder from Australia.(found at thepamperedglider.com, she has the fastest shipping and best price per ounce)

For those interested in trying the HPW Complete or HPW Plus...you can go the crittelove.com web site and order free samples and just pay for the shipping(I think it was like $5) to see if your gliders will like it before you order big batch worth and find out they don't.

leelyn, you probably will have to do a bit more research before you can decide. I can't say I know exactly which diet is the "best", but I do have my glider on Candy's Glider Kids Staple #2 (Reduced Honey) from http://www.gliderkids-diet.com/Staple-Recipes.html
Candy is a well known member on this forum and is well educated upon gliders and their needs/behaviors. I have not researched every single diet that is existent for gliders, but from what I have seen and researched myself, Candy's diets appear to be the most fit to me. She even has a diet similar to hpw. She also has spreadsheets of all of the calcium, protein, etc. that each ingredient and fruit/veggie included in her diets hold, and can answer just about any question you have about her diets.
I also picked this diet because it is affordable for me and is a diet I can realistically take time to make and serve .
I think you should pick what YOU think is best for your babies.
