No, it is not. I recommend checking out glidercentral.net - they have a LOT of great info there and there's a link with a lot of proven diets that are good! I feed HPW, but have fed BML and know that there are some others that are very good for gliders.

so its not good at all for them or is it ok but there is better?

Honestly, there will always be differing opinions, but the majority will say it is not good at all. I know I have read in the past why it is not good - I'll try to find where I read it.

Have you spoken with a glider knowledgable vet about the diet you are feeding???? Have you taken your furkids in for a fecal float and smear?? This should be done every 6 months or at least yearly. There are proven diets on the link usha gave you , the one you are feeding is not on that list. sorry!

Most vets don't even understand a glider's nutritional needs.

A pelleted diet is not good for them for many reasons. THAT particular diet is not nutritionally balanced enough to maintain a healthy glider for very long, and I assume you want your gliders to live long, healthy lives.

????

Additionally, there is a very large risk of afalotoxin poisoning when using a pelleted diet. Not a risk I would ever put upon my gliders. Too many gliders have died from afalotoxin poisoning, and now that we understand it better, I don't know why anyone would feed that diet - except that it seems easy. Try HPW, PML, Priscilla Price's diet or even BML - your gliders will be much better off for it.

That's a list of diet links - I highly recommend HPW or BML (those are the two I have used)

The other site is working fine. It is a much better site for glider care information than this one.
