I just ordered the Bee Pollen & High Protein Wombaroo powder (SP?) today. So while I'm waiting on that, I'm going to start the gradual transition from PPP's Glide R Chow for Fritz.

Step 1: Introduction of Fruit Smoothie - http://www.sweet-sugar-gliders.com/sugar-glider-fruit-smoothie-recipe.html

He's tasted it & seemed to like it. I'll also give him some tonight in his kitchen.

Tonight I'm mixing Step 1 & Step 2:

Step 2: Introduction of Veggie/Fruit Mix - http://www.sweet-sugar-gliders.com/ssg-fruit-veggie-mix-recipe-for-sugar-gliders-2.html

I'll also leave him some Glide R Chow, an apple slice w/Glide R Mins, & a bit of boiled egg so he has his choice. I want to keep this gradual so he doesn't stress too much and actually eats.

Next Step: Removal of Dry Glide R Chow - This is when I'll remove the apple, Glide R Chow, egg, & Glide R Mins from the cage entirely. This is for night #2. In it's place, I'll provide PPP's Emergency Rescue Mix (Glide R Mins, Boiled Egg with Shell, Honey, Glide R Chow, & warm water) in addition to the Fruit Smoothie and Fruit Veggie Mix). He's already had the Emergency Mix before, so this should be a good transition.

This step is the one I'll keep him on until the supplies for the actual HPW mix arrive. Then, that will be provided along with the Emergency Mix, Fruit Smoothie, & the Fruit/Veggie Mix. This step will last for a few days before I remove the Emergency Mix & all trace of Glide R Chow.

Once I know he's completely transfered over, I'll provide a small amount of Glide R Chow plus a slice of apple and a bit of boiled egg during the day in case he get's hungry.

What do you think? Do you think this is a good plan for a smooth transition to a new diet?
