Top Ten Worst Excuses to Not Spay or Neuter Your Pet

HPW sugar glider diet

5/5

My first 2 sugar gliders were from a breeder and my other 2 are rescues. The breeder told me to feed the gliders vegetables one night and fruit the next and sprinkle a certain vitamin powder on top. She also told me that it was up to me if I wanted to give my gliders protein. She said that protien would make them smelly so I didn't give them protein. 

I did this for about a year and a half until I decided to give the HPW a try. Everything about this diet is great! 

I don't need to buy vitamin powder anymore

Feeding time is much easier

I save money in the long run

And my gliders love it!

I followed the recipie from the HPW Diet Center (link at bottom) but bought my HPW (high protein wombaroo powder) from Exotic Nutrition (link at bottom) because it was a little cheaper. 

This diet can be a little expensive. The HPW is about $11, bee pollen from GNC is $11-$17 and the fruit/veggie mixture costs about $30. But! the fruit/veg mixture and HPW mixture both last about a month. 

Feeding the gliders how I was before usually resulted in me throwing half of the fruits and vegetables that I had bought in the garbage because it got old or my gliders got tired of eating it. With this diet, all of the food gets eaten. 

The smallest bag of HPW from exotic nutrition comes with enough powder for 5 batches. Each batch has lasted me about a month with 4 gliders. The fruit and vegetable mixture also lasted about a month. The bee pollen I'm going to have for a VERY long time. 

At night when I feed my sugar babies all I need to do is defrost 10 TBSP of fruit/veg and add 1 TBSP HPW mixture to each bowl and I'm done! Everything is already cut and prepared. 

Prep takes about an 1 - 1 1/2 hours to wash and cut all the fruit and vegetables. 

My gliders eat this MUCH better then the diet they were on before. 

The bowl in the back is the HPW mix

The left bowl is the fruit and the right bowl is the vegetables. 

(I mix the fruit and veggies together I just didn't have a big enough bowl to do it in)

The fruit and vegetables mixed together and put in 7 one quart bags (I put them in a gallon bag the first time and everything turned into one solid brick)

 

(This was a modification of mixture 2 from   The HPW diet center based on what my gliders do and don't like)

Peaches and pears in place of mixed berries 

Zucchini and celery in place of green bell peppers 

Golden delicious apples in place of gala apples

Merrick Cat food

5/5

I switched my cats over to Merrick healthy weight cat food around 2 weeks ago. My one cat is a VERY picky eater (and he was the stray!). He has inhaled this food, he absolutely loves it. Before I couldn't get him to eat anything but chicken proplan. The food is healthy weight for Tabatha, my very fat cat. She is also loving this food and seems to have slimmed down a little. My third cat will eat anything and is a perfect weight. 

Another thing I love about this food is the ingredients. For example, the beef wet food's ingredients is beef and water. There are no byproducts in this food and it is grain free. This food is real meat and real veggies, no filled.

Any food that is vegan is deadly. Dogs and cats are carnivores and NEED meat to stay healthy.

Any pet food that is sold in a grocery store is generally unsafe or not healthy for your pet.

Whenever you buy a new food or treats, check to see where it was made. Most food that comes from countries other than the US is generally unsafe, especially food and treats from china.

Proplan Cat food
Weight Management: ★★★☆☆
Urinary Tract: ★★★☆☆

I'm switching from Purina's Proplan food too Merrick for my cats. Purina is an all around bad brand that kills a lot of animals. Proplan is one of their better foods but I still don't trust it. My two rescue cats were being fed Proplan when I adopted them. One of them is in love with Proplan, if I tried to feed him something else he would just cry and cry.

I adopted Tabatha already very fat and I've been trying to get her to lose weight. Nelson is perfectly healthy and would eat anything so I put him on this food as well. I didn't notice any change with this food. Tabatha didn't lose any weight, in fact, she actually gained a little.

One of my cats gets crystals in her bladder. She was on Science Diet C/D but it was expensive and the other cats were eating Proplan anyway so I switched Anny to Proplan Urinary Tract. Anny gets crystals in her bladder easily but she didn't get any with this food. Her coat wasn't as shiny and was slightly dull and brittle. She's still in great health but doesn't seem quiet right on this food. I gave it three stars because it prevented her from getting crystals. 

Proplan was an okay food but I don't want my cats eating it any longer. I'll review Merrick Cat food after they start eating it.
