I have a crap load of these things and sample packs that the previous owner gave me but I've not used any of them since I have my gliders on BML

Should I just throw them away?
I'm willing to bet the pellets are stale by now...

I've never tried the glide-r- gravy for them and hadn't trusted giving it to them and I have a barely used shaker of glide-a-mins.

I can't really imagine any alternative uses for them

I just got all this stuff with my 3 rescued boys too. I am going to check with some rescue people and see if they could use some of it.

The bag of glide r gravy is a brand new sealed bag, And a brand new bottle of the glida-mins.

I will let you know if they can use anything like that.

I agree Cora, I weaned them off in 3 days (Because they had sent three cubes home with me for them) and they are loving the OHPW(modified) that my other gliders are on, but maybe a glider rescue could use it in a pinch so it would not go to waste.

A lot of people do feed HPW Complete and HPW Instant. I was told the Glide R Gravy was HPW Complete repackaged for PPP.

If you are feeding BML - you can throw the Glidamins away. BML has more than enough vitamins in the recipe and any additional supplements would be an overdose.

Hang on to the Glider-Gravy. It is indeed HPW Complete and in a pinch you could mix just enough for a day's feeding for your gliders if BML is not available for a night or two. (good for traveling or if you have a power outage and no freezer.)

You can offer a few pieces of the pellets - if your glider will munch on them to help clean their teeth but I would not leave them in the cage at night when you want your glider to eat the BML, mixed vegetables and fruit you offer for dinner.
