I thought the same about the calcium but the vet said I should add another calcium supplement. I will see how it goes.
They seem happy and both are eating most of their food each night I just keep seeing posts of people blending all their veg and fruit and giving it to them like that, is there any advantage to this, I am just cutting up veg and fruit each night.
do NOT blend up veggies, and fruits probably a bad idea.
glider take what they can digest chew it up, spit out hard remainder.
by blending it up you remove their ability to eat what they should and spit out
what they don't want or CAN NOT digest.
again, like in the wild, nobody cuts up the apples or trees, for them.
Mine eat the INSIDE of the pea, leave the outside.
Mine eat the inside of the green bean, leave the outside.
they eat fruits like human, no seeds, but leave the skin if you would eat it.
papaya skin in trash, pear skin in eating bowl.
if you trust the vet, I would follow his advice.
our first vet charged $100, looked at us crazy when we asked them to cut our first gliders nails, the assistant was lost. And she gave us almost a pocket pets diet.
Our second glider vet charges $47 for one visit unlimited gliders. TWO of them have long time glider experience, knew how to handle and pick up the glider. And the information saw given like they knew what they are talking about.
My wife and I should go back to first vet and teach them how to cut glider nails we are gittin good at it. I still get more nervous then her sometimes.
