Diets?

[Emmie]

Hiya,

I've been doing a lot of research on the different type of diets and I have well and truly confused myself  lol

So, I thought I would ask you guys what diet have you used that has been the best for your gliders health, appearance and nutrition?

Thanks

The diet i use is a fruit/veg mix with cat biscuits. The fruit/veg mix is supplemented with glider booster (vits and minerals) and on alternate days bee pollen or acacia gum.

I was planning on giving them a couple of mealworms, yogurt drops, dried mango/papaya for treats, as well as filling holes in branches with acacia gum or fruit mix gumivore fare or bugs/fly pupae and spreading a tiny bit of Australian honey on a branch for them to lick off to keep them entertained now and again

During the day I was thinking about leaving out a couple of monkey biscuits soaked in mango or papaya fruit juice or a little bit of insectivore fare, just for something different and if they get hungry they have something to munch on
