When I feed my babies ensure, how much do I give them? Do I feed them ensure daily? Do I still give them their regular nightly meal?

Yes you still have to give them fruits and veggies with the Darcy Diet. I use to give mine about a tablespoon, however I have three gliders. This diet was actually made for a sick glider that was losing weight fast. Ensure can be very fattening for them so you have to be careful with it. I would not give it to them daily. I actually have the hpw diet for them and they love it. I do have to mix honey into it for them to eat it but they eat it all.

xopaigery:
Ensure is not nutritionally designed for sugar gliders and should NOT be used as a substitute for one of the widely used glider staple recipes fed with a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.

If you are feeding HPW - I assume you are using either HPW Complete or Instant HPW - it already contains HONEY in a dry powdered form and you should not add additional honey to it. Doing so will only increase the sugar content and HPW is already very sweet.
