Sugar Glider Central

I feed my kids the HPW diet.  I order the High-Protein Wombaroo mix and the Bee Pollen online.  The rest of ingredients  are just eggs and honey.  In the morning, their HPW dish is licked clean. 

2 C hot water
1/2 C honey
1/4 C High Protein Wombaroo mix
Mix well

2 T. Bee Pollen
3 Hardboiled Eggs
1/2 C Water/Honey/HPW mix
Mix til smooth

Add the rest of the Water/Honey/HPW and mix well.  Pour equally into 4 containers.  Leave one container in the refrigerator and freeze the other 3.  Each glider gets 1/2 Tablespoon each night with 1/2 Tablespoon of chopped fruits and 1/2 Tablespoon chopped veggies. 

I feed HPW by this recipe:

Donnarae - with HPW, each glider is supposed to get 1 full Tablespoon of fruit and 1 full Tablespoon of veggies each night.  Not sure if that was just a typo or if you are really underfeeding them, but for them to get the proper amount of food/calories/minerals/vitamins (not just a balanced ratio, but the correct AMOUNT), they should always receive 1 full Tablespoon of both fruits and veggies each night.

I don't know about underfeeding, but their HPW bowl is licked clean and the veggies and fruits are about half eaten.  ??  I had 6 gliders in one cage and 2 in another.   It is hard to tell who is eating what and how much.  I tried the 1 T of fruits and veggies per glider and there was too much left over the next morning.  With 6 gliders, that would be 6 tablespoons of chopped fruits and veggies???  They'd have a great food-fight.   If they are not going to eat it, I'm not going to waste it.  As long as there are left-overs, I'm happy.

Mine dont get a full tablespoon each either.  But then again, one persons measurement of a tablespoon could be different than anothers.  I know my tablespoons are overflowing.  So my cages of 3 gliders get 2 HEAPING tablespoons and my cage of 5 gets 3 1/2.  If that makes any sense.

I tried to put all of the HPW in the freezer and scoop out what I needed (like Ice-Cream....NO!)  It froze solid and was a real bear to chip out a chunk.  If you could fill ice-cube trays with the 1 T it might work better.  Otherwise, I fill plastic water containers about half-way and keep frozen what I'm not using.  My container lasts about a week.   I was on BML diet but had a lot of trouble getting my gliders to eat it.  My one female lost 10% of her body weight so I tried the HPW.  They liked it better.  ??  I'd say either one was a good diet and really easy, no muss, no fuss.
