Calcium

 Calcium

What is the BEST way to get calcium into your glider?? I tried the Rep Cal but my gliders won't touch any food that has it on it??? Also I see the numbers next to the different foods, and I know that they are supposed to explain the ratio of the food. But heck if I get it from there??? I know that they are supposed to have 50% protein, 25% vegi, and 25% fruit. I feed mine the HPW diet, so I give them the frozen mix which if I'm right is pretty much protein? Then I switch up fruits and vegies. Am I doing this wrong? Also what do I do about the calcium? And can someone explain the numbers to me 1:5:2???

I'm going to send you something that Ed from Lucky Glider Rescue sent me to help explain the ratios. I generally sprinkle the calcium on something I know the suggies will each, and then sort of mix it in. They polish it off that way! I also try to pick foods that are closest to the optimal calcium to phosphorous ratio.
