When I first bought her about a month ago, she had stained on her belly i can't seem to get rid of it. I fed her HPW fruits and vege..It's still THERe.. Am i doing anything wrong or she's the type of breed that has yellow belly? the vet says she's a mixture of 2 breed ( different color front and back body parts) oh~ she didn't finish her hpw recently.

Any idea to make my gurl feel better and rid of yellow belly?

It takes a long time for their fur to grow out. And sometimes it never turns back completely white. As long as you are changing their pouches at least weekly. I change mine twice a week cause yellow can be from pee staining as well.

There is not such thing as a mixed breed glider. There are cinnamon gliders which are light brown, but they would still have a white belly. Almost any color variations will either show or not show (either be the color variation, or standard gray) so it's pretty safe to say she is just stained. Theres a chance her fur just hasn't had long enough to grow out and become it's natural pretty white. Or like sjones said, it could be pouch staining. Try switching out her sleeping arrangements more and see if that helps (not too frequently or she will over mark). Best of luck!

I was @ my vet this week and she mentioned to me that vitamin A deficiency can cause stained fur. I am not saying add vitamin A to your diet! I am just stating this because you might want to consider using veggies and fruits that are higher in that vitamin to see if it helps. :). Stained fur from bad diet can take quite a while to alter.

Also alternate between a bunch of fruits and veggies, so she's not eating eating the same thing every day, gives her more vitamins etc.
