They hate anything with calcium on it!

eddiejo May 14, 2004 03:58 PM

What brand of calcium does everyone use? I've tried repcal and minerall but I can't get any of my gliders to eat anything that has either of those 2 brands sprinkled on it. Are Bone-Aid or Solar Drops too strong? I know they need calcium but they're being really stubborn about it.
How many sugar credits do you have?

I use repcal but then i use the BML diet so the calcium is mixed into it. My guys will not eat calcium if it is just spinkled on top . I have found that the bml works for me and with over 20 gliders at any one time i can not afford a calcium strike lol. I make fruit smoothies and such also and depending on what fruit i use i put a pinch of calcium into the fruit mix and this is no problem either , they will eat it that way too. Hope this helps at all

I use BML so the calcium is mixed in with the BML. I have not heard of one glider that doesnt like BML.
