Im no expert as Ive only had my suggies since June last year but it does seem like a lot of supplements. Ask the veterans on the forum  Embarrassed

Boys DO smell a lot more than girls tho, (both suggies & humans Grin ) so it may just be that.  I noticed a huge difference after I had Pumpernickle fixed,  I hardly notice any smell now.

Read through Marie's diet info here. Acacia gum is not a supplement but a prebiotic or soluble fiber that keeps the feces moist as it moves through their digestive system. A little acacia gum mixed w/daily rations is good.

It sounds like you may be giving too much glider booster and glider aid. And perhaps your vitamin pinches are a bit too generous.

Then there is the diet itself to check over. Please read through Marie's diet and if you decide to follow it, you will be using a diet that has kept breeding and non-breeding suggies healthy for more than 15 years.
