Count up to one weeks ago I found that my babies seems get bored with the instant HPW, the rather having veggie and furit whole night but even touch the HPW( maybe just having a bit I think), how do I can them to having it again?
I'm really concern about it coz my girl was pregnant now I'm afraid that she doesn't get enough portein.

Try offering less fruits and veggies for a few nights, or adding in some extra protein sources with the HPW. For instance some cut up chicken bits in the HPW mix, or some hard boiled/scrambled eggs

I had the <b>same</b> problem with my girls. I had concerns that after a week of rejecting instant, they would get sick.
What I ended up doing for a few days, until my regular wombaroo supplement came in, is I took a teaspoon of the powder and sprinkled it on their fruits and veggies. They couldn't ignore it then.

<font color="green">I agree or you could try BML.</font id="green">

Would it be ok to try to pour the HPW over the f/v, maybe they'll get some additionally when eating f/v or maybe make it more interesting? Is there anything else that would be ok to add to the HPW as well, s/a yogurt or extra honey or someone mentioned they use I think pure maple syrup, to change the taste a little? I'm just asking so if someone knows better they can answer for you & others who may have the same issue.
I'm hoping my girls don't tire of the HPW (I use original).

Wish you luck in finding something that works.

To clarify, I don't mean to add anything to recipe, only after it's a mixture and being served up.

Nah, I don't think adding more honey or maple syrup would help, since the mix is already sweet enough.
Currently, I take the 1/2 tablespoon High protein wombaroo supplement, and mix it with 4 tablespoons of warm water and 1 tablespoon of cranberry juice. I put about 1 teaspoon of honey in it and shake it up really well in a plastic bottle. I feed them a tablespoon each. They have been on this for about 3 weeks now, and they love it so much that they wake up at 7pm, about 1 hour early than normal, just for dinner.
This is coming from the same gliders that have refused just about everything I've tried to give them.
I liked the instant, but it seems like its too rich for them to eat it after a while.
Tonight, try sprinkling at least a teaspoon of the powder on their fruits and veggies to makes sure they are getting the protein they need. If they don't eat it, then I'll go back to the drawing board

I use Reep's Wombaroo Diet, and Luna LOVES it. You could try adding chicken baby food or eggs to the HPW like KritterCare suggested. Luna goes crazy for eggs. I ate a hard boiled egg yesterday at lunch. Luna woke up the minute I started taking the shell off, and she tried to grab it out of my hands. (I did give her a bit after I'd taken the shell off).

You could also try pureeing your f/v and mixing the HPW into that mixture. Then they couldn't pick and choose what to eat. But Luna likes food that she can pick up so she can grab it and run away to eat on some far corner or the cage (and make a mess).

Sometimes they'll do that. As long as they aren't losing weight, I'd keep serving it. I am the queen of changing diets too often. They may just be filling up on f/v.

joe.august - check to see if you are offering too much fruit and vegetable.

for 2 gliders 2 TBS fruits and 2 TBS vegetables is a very small amount. It is very easy to offer a lot more than this recommended amount. If your gliders prefer the fruits and vegetables they may just not have room to eat the HPW as well.

Gliders have a stomach about the size of the tip of your thumb so they eat small amounts all night long. Try cutting back some on the fruits and vegetables and see if they eat the HPW better.

If you are pureeing the fruits and vegetables you are actually offering more than they need. Pureeing or blending them reduces the volume when compared with whole chunks. If you put 3 cups of cut up fruits and/or vegetables in the blended you will have significantly less than the 3 cups after blending - so you could offer your gliders LESS than the 1 TBS and get the same nutrients as a heaping TBS of glider hand size pieces.

Are you mixing 1/2 TBS Wombaroo High Protein Supplement with 4 TBS water and 1 TBS cranberry juice? You are severely diluting the protein and vitamins in the Wombaroo High Protein Supplement diluting 1 part powder to 10 parts liquid. If you are not feeding additional protein this could be a very inadequate diet for your gliders.

I did mixed some HPW into F/V just now( evening in Macau now), as usual, my boy come up with F/V first, he seems to ok with mixed F/V, but I forgot to tell u guys one more thing, in fact my girl also starting get bored with F/V I served, usually I will change the list of F/V per week. She didn't touch the F/V either…
I think Candy was right, I may served too much amount F/V for them( i did chop to gilder hand size), will be cut some for tomorrow night
And also will be prepare boiled egg, in case they pick up the food tomorrow, thx all!!!
