ANSWER: Allison,

The best way to switch diets is to do it by mixing the two, gradually replacing the BML with HPW.

QUESTION: what diets do you suggest?

ANSWER: Allison,

I have been feeding my gliders BML, fruits and veggies for over eight years now.  None of them have ever been sick.  Bee pollen sounds like a good idea, but I don't know what is in wombaroo.  Make sure they are given enough calcium, as a lack of it can cause hind-end paralysis.

Good luck.  Let me know what you decide.

QUESTION: Many people do use BML, that was my top choice for a diet until i started reading this article.

But maybe this is not a good website to get information from.

Answer
Allison,

I read that article a while back.  I have replaced the baby food chicken with boiled chicken. I sometimes use oatmeal instead of baby cereal.  I also have some of the super vitamin supplements suggested in the article.  I often give the BML ingredients separately, like chicken with yogurt sprinkled with calcium & vitamins one day, eggs with applesauce and gliderade the next, oatmeal with honey another day, etc., always with a fresh fruit and/or veggie.  Frankly,I think the article smacks of sensationalism, and I wouldn't take it too seriously.  Any of the recommended diets are probably fine.  Just don't try to feed them cat food.  

I hope this helps.  Thanks!
