Hello, I'm new on on here and I'm soon to be picking up my babies Smiley I think I have my diet sorted but can someone check it's sorted right?

Menu:
Lisa sugar glider menu

Monday- 4 cat biscuits, half a tablespoon of fruit/veg, pollen, glider cal and booster

Tuesday- boiled egg, half a tablespoon of fruit/veg, gliderade, and booster

Wednesday- 4 cat biscuits, half a tablespoon of fruit/veg, pollen, glider cal and booster

Thursday- boiled egg, half a tablespoon of fruit/ veg, gliderade, and booster

Friday- 4 cat biscuits, half a tablespoon of fruit/veg, pollen, glider cal and booster

Saturday- boiled egg, half a tablespoon of fruit/veg, gliderade, and booster

Sunday- 4 cat biscuits, half a tablespoon of fruit/veg, gliderade, and booster

Copied form Maria. Blend up a lb of veg and fruit 50 % of each. A tablespoon in each ice cube ready for freezer. When do I put the glider cal and booster in? It's says on the pack to mix the two together per lb of fruit. So was going put it in the blended
 Mixture and then in the freezer. But then on the menu it says only give glider cal three times a week??!!!! When should I put it in? Thanks

With glider cal, i only put it in my mixes if the Ca:P ratio is low, if the ratio is a little high then I leave it out, but when I do add it then it gets added when I'm making the mix. and if you're worrying about too much glider cal in the mix that they'd be having it everyday for a week... remember that you're only adding a really small amount compared to the size of the mix, so in reality the gliders aren't likely to be getting everyday anyway, and if they do, it will be in such small amounts.
With glider booster, I also put this in the mix before I freeze it. If you use the mix within a week or so, the nutrients inside the booster shouldn't deteriorate that much.
Do you have their dinners all sorted out? - as in which fruit/veg combos you're gonna use?

I was going to go shopping on sat. Fruit wise I was thinking apple, blueberry and nectarine. For veg I was thinking broccoli, peas and sweet potato. Do you think that will be ok? I've just brought a chopper and this ice cube tray that holds in the nutrients. will it be safe to add both to the mix?

Papaya is one of the main fruits in the mixes I use because of it's high calcium to phosphorus ratio...  And you want to limit their citrus intake...  Can give them the squirts.
