Hello I bought some bean sprouts today and I was wondering if all Sprouts are safe for me to feed my zippy any advice would be great

Yes, sprouts are fine.

The things you shouldn't feed because they are toxic include onions, leeks, rhubarb, garlic, chocolate, catnip and raw Lima beans (frozen is fine because they've been blanched) Depending on what diet you feed, the rest is fair game. :)

I read that avacado pits, and cherry pits are bad toxic as well so be sure to keep those away.

Awesome thank you I have had my lil man since apirl of this year my husband bought him for me for our. 10th anniversary he was already 7 months old.

But I must say have a suggie has been the best . We're still bonding. It definitely takes time when there a lil older but it's at zippy's pace not mine. Also any advice. Bonding ?

what diet are you currently feeding him?

have you thought about getting him a companion?

for bonding, try a bathroom bonding session or get a pop up tent. he will get used to being able to freely jump on and off of you and feel comfortable. being a wheel, some toys, treats and fleece to shove under the door crack. don't forget to close the toilet lid and glide proof the bathroom!

Hello yes I absolutely want to get him a companion he has a beautiful cage set up lots of toys a wheel and I feed him a variety of veggies fruits meal worms I give him flowers any suggestions I'm all open

Flowers? What flowers? And besides mealworms what kind of protien are you giving him?

Roses hibiscus camomile Daisy's
Eucalyptus he gets eggs yogurt chicken of course no seasoning

Any suggestions

If there's anything I can do to better my care for him Im all open. I hear of people say to buy vitamin powder to top their food with. But I'm so afraid of getting the wrong thing everyone has different opinions on caring for their baby i want to be sure that my baby gets the best nutritional value from what he eats

I bought some dries flower petals from E/N but my gliders weren't interested. Daisys? They make insecticide out of some daisys!

you need to get him on a glider approved diet, one that is well known. some include LGRS Suggie soup, Pricilla Price, Gliderkids, BML, OHPW, and GOHPW. start researching!!

we do all have different opinions on diets, how ever most of us agree that they need to be ON one. Which one is entirely up to you and your gliders. What works for me may not work for you... there is no best diet, the best diet is the one that your gliders eat well.

Some diets you can only get online so if your not willing or able to order online then those diets won't be a good choice for you. Hpw critter love, tpg and a few others you can only get some or all the ingredients online.

Bml you can usually find all the ingredients locally. But, the fruit and veg that need to be fed with it is very specific.

Cost is another factor, what you can afford to always have on hand.

ease of making the diet, some require a blender, some require a lot of chopping of fruits n veg, some just require water.

What your glider will eat. There is no way of knowing if a glider will eat one diet better than another until you actually try one of the diets.

What kind of "powders" calcium vitamins largely depends on what diet you chose. The diets are specific about ingredients and should NOT be substituted. If it calls for Repcal calcium use only repcal calcium etc...

the ingredients have a purpose, and have been formulated to keep the over all diet balanced so the glider gets what they need.

Yes absolutely research, but these are some things to consider when chosing a diet.

If you are planning on getting a cage mate, please consider neutering your handsome lil man first

Thank you so much for all the amazing advice is truly and greatly appreciate all the advice I will definitely do more research and look into all diets because my lil man means the world to me

Campsis radicans is considered as safe for birds but TOXIC to dogs, so in the doubt I wouldnt try
