Well Thats debateable, depends on who you talk to, lol I always used the honey from the grocery store, processed, not raw. raw may contain bacteria.

i have another question, i mixed the diet together last night, froze it, then defrosted it, did everything the directions told me to do. i wasnt sure how to feed it to them so i mixed it with their fruits and veggies. is that how its suppose to be served or another way? i want to make sure they are eating it and getting all the vitamins and stuff that they need. im thinking one is pregnant also. she is pretty "fluffy" and the other day i saw 2 lumps around her pouch and my son and i are pretty sure we saw a finger or thumb poking out. :shock:

I served it frozen in a little ceramic shallow dish all by itself and their fruits and veggies, etc on another plate!! But if they eat it well mixed together then just put it on top frozen!! :)

:D thank you again!!! im sure ill have tons of other questions along the way. this evening i bought a lil children's pop up tent. set it up and got in it with my girls. they were all over me. one of my sons said one girl was rubbing her rear on me and i could feel it. i have read that this is a sign of being accepted into the colony. do u think this is true and what she may have been doing? im so excited that they felt safe enough with me tonight. cant wait for another time of play time. :P

:lol: oh my how exciting!!! i have noticed that Miah, the one that did the rubbing, seems more tame than Leena. Miah is more out going, while Leena stays in her pouch more. Leena still was all over me but didnt rub me and she doesnt let me pet her as much as Miah does. Im so love these two lil girls. Im so glad I got them. they are such wonderful lil babies!!!!

so glad you are enjoying your gliders. They should give you much joy for 9 to 15 years.
