Hi guys, when I first adopted my suggie in april, he was a cinnamon brown color. Around may/June, I started him on LGRS suggie soup along with 1 tbsp of fruit and 1 tbsp of veggie and a SMALL portion of extra protein such as boiled egg, boiled chicken, or mealies. Now, his brown is fading to a light gray color on his lower back. Does LGRS have anything to do with it or should I see a vet?

No need to see a vet - he is just loosing the staining from a previously poor diet. The 'cinnamon brown' coloring was not his normal coloring.

He will soon be a beautiful grey glider.

I agree, they're supposed to be light/medium grey. A poor diet will turn them more brownish, so that's probably what it is. If his behavior is normal then he's probably just becoming healthier!

Wow! That's awesome news then! I'm very happy Yes his behavior is normal. In fact, he has WAY more energy now than he did when I first got him! I'm so happy my little Meiko is gaining his nutrition back
