Hello!
My new furry baby is named Luna. She was on BML, and I have her on HPW now. She eats SO MUCH! Do you think that's maybe b cause she likes it so much?

Do you mean that she eats all of the amount that you put in for her serving, or are you putting in more than the recommended amount and she is eating all of that as well? Is she alone or sharing her food with others?

Which HPW are you using?

HPW is a much thinner staple than BML so it may just take some time for her appetite to adjust.

There have been discussions about gliders being fed HPW Complete eating excessive amounts of it (if extra is offered) and never quite appearing to be satisfied.

If you are only offering the recommended 1 TBS HPW, 1 TBS fruits and 1 TBS vegetables your glider cannot really 'overeat'.

Thanks Candy! That is already helpful. She eats every bit of the recommended amounts (what you said). Then searches her poo tray for leftover food remnants. If I give her a small slice of apple in the morning when she does that, she eats that too!
