could someone please advize me on how many days a week i should give my suggies these supplements as i have read that too many vitamins can cause their urine to smell more[and mine smell]both intact males.I have been giving them glider booster 5 days a week..glider cal 2 days per week.bee pollen 2 days per week.arcia gum once per week and gliderade 4 days per week, am i doing it right,perhaps the pinches of vitamins i give them are big pinches

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 

Boys DO smell a lot more than girls tho, (both suggies & humans ) 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.
