I switched the rejected joeys to briskys booster milk and pedialyte instead of puppy milk now, she doesn't seem to really like it very much. I was told to add honey to make it taste better but I'm out of honey right now and I'd like her to eat right now, any suggestions?

Do you have juice to flavor it with -
again I will post the link for the original formula: http://www.sugarglidervetinfo.com/upload/Quick%20Help%20for%20Rejected%20Joeys.pdf
Contains applejuice & baby cereal so if you are going to be modifying the brisky's to make the taste better, I'd go with Suz's Original formula recommendations.

Would just adding apple juice maybe help? I don't want to go with the original formula since suz doesn't recommend it so would replacing some of the pedialyte with apple juice maybe help?

Diets are not something I can advise on modifying - that should be left to the diet creators and/or a veterinary nutritionist who specialized in exotic nutrition.
I recommend you read Suz's website about why she doesn't recommend it and then talk to the Sugar Group about ISD incidences in suggies since they have a collection of necropsies/surveys done. Unless and until there is some proof of ISD or even high iron levels routinely in suggies fed BML or other iron-fortified products that is published somewhere(which there hasn't been), then I will stick with what has proven to work for countless suggies.
If you really aren't up for joey BML or Suz's original formula, then try Suncoasts although you will need to order more ingredients.
