Hi, im on vacation from school at my parents and i brought my gliders home with me. My dad threw away my glider food on accident and i now have no more HPW mix. I do the HPW diet and now im freaking out bc i dont know what to do. Help please.
do you have some mealworms? if not, go out and buy some. give her about 4 giant or several small, depending on what size you get. Also, make sure you have plenty of vegetable and fruit. give her about 1/8 of a vegatable and 1/8 of a fruit. You can also give her some yogurt or some of a hard boiled egg. Chicken and apples baby food also works, but i try not to give her that unless i absolutely have to.
Give scrambled eggs or boiled/baked chicken (no spices) instead until you can get more HPW.
Mealworms are not a significant source of protein. They are not to be used as a nutritional component of the diet. They are, rather, used to clean the glider's teeth. Do not substitute the glider's protein source with meal worms. Provide eggs or chicken along with your fruits and veggies and your babies will be fine.
