My little bros don't much like their hpw, but really liked a random sample I had laying around of glide-r-gravy. Ingrediance are almost the exact same so should I just go with gravy?? I kno pocket pets or whoever sells it is hated around here but what up I need some feedback

I got some of that with the new gliders I got not to long ago. I have not tried it and was just getting ready to ask to see if anyone knew anything about it too. They also came with the gliders harness and leash!!!!!! Thoses are in the trash now lol.

Kyro is right. Glide R Gravy is HPW Complete packaged under a different name. There really is no reason why your gliders would like one over another since they are exactly the same.

Just to point out, going by the title the OP is comparing Instant HPW to HPW Complete which are two different things.

Yeah I use instant hpw now but what more prep does the complete take? Is it the whole cooking egg, adding bee pollen, ect, ect.

Another thing is the gravy smells much more appetizing, like vanilla ice cream. Could this be why they like it more?

I am feeding my boy Instant HPW, and would be possibly interested in HPW complete, can someone explain the differences? I don't mind cooking or prepping for my kid (I'm a Suggie Slave), but sometimes I just don't have the time, can they be interchanged when your in a pinch for time, (although I prepare Instant HPW at 8 day intervals)because if they can that would be awesome! I feed along side Instant HPW Fresh Fruit and Veggies, and pellets for a 24 hour snack if wanted by him while I'm away as well as drizzle a small amount of fresh honey (neighbor has several bee hives which I buy off of so honey is only like 2 days bottled when I get it pasteurized ), so am I able to feed fresh fruits and Veggies with HPW Complete as well?
New to Suggies so if this is a noob question I apologize, but without you guys so far, I would be getting no experienced advice and only what I have read up on in research.

Thanks for the link Kyro, but that is not what I was asking, that only shows a difference between HPW Plus and HPW Complete, Not the Differences between Instant HPW and HPW Complete. Plus the other Question I had on whether they could be swapped back and forth. Your link while informative, is not on the OP's subject

Instant & Complete are prepared EXACTLY the same way.....just add water. The difference is in the ingredients. Instant contains the Australian product High Protein Wombaroo Supplement which has been used by multiple zoos over the past 20 some odd years. Complete does not. You can find an ingredient list for Complete on the link Kyro provided and do some research on the ing. If you choose.

Pardon me, Triketra, not on the OP's subject? I guess your question was though? Did you not ask about HOW to feed HPW Complete? All I did was provide you a link you could have looked up yourself. Maybe I should just stick to only replying to the OP in a thread and not what others ask by interjecting along the way? I'll try to remember to only respond to you if I have an answer to every question asked.

I think it's possible for your gliders to like one and not the other. Mine like complete but not the gravy and personally I think they have a different smell. The complete smells sweet like custard and the gravy smells a bit like dog food or something. I couldn't stand the smell of the gravy but think HPW smells yummy lol.

Instant HPW is made by exotic nutrition and HPW Complete is made by Peggy. They are completely different diets but I think over on the Sweet Spot they have them listed so you might be able compare or contact Peggy she is very knowlegable about the HPW stuff. Both only require adding water. HPW Original is the diet you need to add eggs, honey and pollen.

Ok to summarize. HPW Complete and Glider Gravy are the same thing. If you don't want to buy from PPP, but it at www.critterlove.com Same thing.

I agree HPW Complete and Glide-R-Gravy are the same product. So is SmartHPW. HOWEVER, please consider how each site suggests they be served if you choose to use this diet.
Peggy Brewer's HPW Diet center is the ONLY one of the three sites (the other two being Pocket Pets and ASGV or Vetspride.com) to instruct it be served with fruits and veggies only. If you are feeding HPW Complete this way be aware that it's crude protein content is 14% and crude fat content is 2%.
The other two sites SPECIFICALLY say it is used to enhance the taste of their staple diet. They both instruct that the product be served over their kibble. Pocket Pet's kibble is Glide-R-Chow and ASGV (Vetspride) suggests the same kibble only it's called NutriMax. The kibble is the same product and it contains not less than 20% crude protein and not less than 10% crude fat. Of course they say you can feed it with fruits and veggies (we know they suggest apple wedges). They make it a point to say that the nectar product is an excellent ADDITION to their pellets served on TOP. It is not intended to replace their pellets.
I think this is a very important fact to consider.
Btw, WHY is it so much better to buy directly from HPW Diet Center and not the other two organizations? The products are the same. You are supporting a business. Peggy Brewer has said on numerous occasions she has worked with the owner of Pocket Pets regarding this diet. I am confused on this point of trying to steer people to buy from her instead of the other two sites. Personally, I would say that I would most likely choose to purchase from Vetspride.com at this point. ASGV is an organization for exotic vets to work together and discuss sugar gliders. It isn't controlled by Pocket Pets any more than HPW Diet Center. IMO
