Is the hpw fruit and veggie a good diet? It's the premade that u just scoop out. If I were to feed that would I have to feed anything else along with it for meal times? Right now I'm just using the instant hpw with fresh fruits and veggies. Was just wondering if the fruit and veggie hpw was just as good?

I've heard that is is a very good and widely used diet, I haven't used either myself but know that fruits and veggies are always added into the daily (nightly) feeding of any true diet.

I am POSITIVE there will be some folks that will come along with their personal experiences with these. Many times choosing the specific diet is purely personal preference...and of course...that of your gliders!

If you are referring to the Exotic Nutrition product sold in jars - we just do not know anything about its quality or if it will keep gliders healthy LONG TERM. This is a VERY new product just introduced a few months ago.

I do not know ANYONE that has had any experience using this product.

My impression is that it could not contain adequate fruits and vegetables to equal the 2 TBS that is usually offered with 1 TBS of Original HPW as a complete feeding.

If you want to feed HPW I recommend using the ORIGINAL HPW made using Wombaroo High Protein Supplement, Eggs, Bee Pollen, Honey and Water mixed in a blender and fed along with a wide variety fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables.

http://www.hpwdietcenter.com/original.html

If following this recipe I would offer 1 TBS of the HPW rather than 1 1/2 teaspoons as indicated in the recipe. When Peggy developed HPW Plus powder as an alternative to Wombaroo High Protein Supplement and is used for the HPW PLUS diet which is prepared using EXACTLY the same recipe - she now recommends feeding 1 TBS per glider of HPW Plus.

She has never given a reason for the serving amount change but it makes no sense to me to offer HALF that amount when feeding Original HPW - which would be feeding half of the protein, vitamins and calcium.
