It doesn't give fat content on t'interweb! It just gives this as the
Typical analysis: Protein 31%, oil 18%, ash 7%, fibre 1.8%.
They do vary per recipe and stage though. I wonder if it's on the pack? It's been a long time since I looked at JWB TBH, I gave up with the idea because they didn't answer my questions regarding prairie meal.

I don't know - that's why I emailed them!  They never replied, so I didn't bother using their products! But now I see it's not on their list of ingredients. |

that's cool. might try that. I use the sunseed glide pellets (they love it) it tells the Ca:P right on the container. (2.1 or 2.2 depending on the batch) so it's easier to balance the higher phos foods out here  I get so much shite for using it though. I assume it's similar with those of you who use cat food. |

I can't remember who it was, but there was someone on here giving sugar glider pellets as a part of their diet (I think they've sold up now though) and the coats on her/his gliders were superb! I think in the US, there are certain people who just get all grumpy and upset because you don't like their diet!
The reason I don't recommend a pelleted diet is because it's dull and boring, eating should be like an enrichment exercise for them, BUT having said that, as part of a varied diet I personally don't see the harm!

he he I can't get them off it. I tried once when someone said it was bad for them because it's "too hard" *cough* (even though it's soft and can even be soaked) so I tried BML, but they ate the pellets, then fruit and veggies, and wouldn't even touch the BML. The pellets are kind of expensive when feeding tons of suggies, (12 usd after discount- only lasts a week. tops.) so I'm gonna try Iams next to see if they like it |

id LOVE to start using the JWB, their food is amazing. No crap in it in terms of additives and stuff and its allllllll natural. If anybody has dogs with skin conditions (especially westies), switch to JWB!!! lol.
I could rave about their food for ages. Especially in comparison to iams, which im pretty sure had some ethical issues regarding its production a long time ago - something to do with animal testing and it was linked with Eukanuba....blurry memory....:S

I get it from pet smart lol. it's the ONLY glider-specific product they sell. Order online at: cheapest: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=16629petsmart: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2754193As a warning: TONS of people say it's crap (just like cat food... *cough*) but I've never had anything but healthy gliders and they love it... (When I first got them, they were dragging their legs around. (beginnings of HLP) It was a weekend, and I made an appointment that day. (glider vet in the city at the time did not take emergencies. Stupid, I know.) as soon as I got them on the sunseed and veggies , and calcium etc the leg dragging was gone before their appointment. Still took them in and the vet told me to just keep doing what I'm doing and it'd go away. and it did.) I swear by the stuff. I also get a lot of crap about it. so.. fair warning. |
