This is my little boy, Suggie. I acquired him from a woman who kept him on a diet of fruits, pellets and parrot biscuits. A day after I got Suggie, I went online, ordered his rep-cal vitamins and got him started on BML asap. Now about half a year later, he's got a healthy, non-cracked coat! luvmyfurbabies Super Glider 341 Posts THEHYLAND Zippy Glidershorts  FL, USA 4774 Posts quote:

This baby is 2 years old. I brought him home 3-25-2009 at 9 pm az time. He was previously housed with a Hamster and fed pellets and mealworms. He's on the road to recovery.
KuroNeko Fuzzy Wuzzy USA 1617 Posts I had two males I rescued from pelleted diets. One was on pellets, blueberries, peanut butter, nuts, and superworms. When he came to me, I didn't know how he normally acted so there was no way of me telling something was off about him. By the time I noticed, it was too late and he was gone in less than an hour. He died after a little under 4wks in my care, though I have a feeling that he may have had other health problems as well. A necropsy could not be done because my boyfriend had already buried him by the time it was mentioned to me. The other was on just pellets. He had a total of 4 cagemates who all died off one by one until they finally decided to re-home this one. He was in my home for 3wks. I thought he was doing great, always left his bowl polished clean. My mom walked in the room to find him dead sprawled out in his favorite sleeping spot (I had just seen him [alive] 2 hours prior). He was sent to Val for a necropsy, but due to a delivery delay, the dry ice melted and he decomposed quickly. Definite cause of death is unsure, but he was fed nothing, but pellets for 4 years of his life. My current male was at one point fed pellets until he was rescued by an acquaintance of mine who then put him on BML. I didn't see how poor of a condition he was in then, but he looks fine now. He's is in my care living happy and healthy with my female Sweetness. I am sad to say I have no pictures of either of the rescued males in the poor condition they were.

Before (on a pellet diet) and after (no pellets). Unfortunately, it was too late by the time I got him and he only lived 5 months with me. Per the necropsy, the damage to his liver was irreversible. All I did was prolong his life by a few months.
This was the day I got him:
This was about 2 months later:
