fur improvement with a new diet

Bear with me, because this is going to be a long post:

I have had my gliders since June 2011. I had them on the standard Pocket Pets diet until I switched to a popular staple diet in July. I kept them on this diet until I noticed something strange..... I will post pictures so you can see what I have seen over the months.

We will begin with Ziggy.

This is Ziggy.

now, scroll back up and look at the pic of Cocoa's face, then look at her face NOW (keep in mind, it's only ONE month after a change of diet)

I think I'm going to have to give her a new name as she's not so "Cocoa" colored anymore


I post this thread because I am FLOORED!!!!! I thought I had them on a GREAT diet! I thought Cocoa just had some cinnamon in her that made her look so tan. But she was stained ALL OVER! Even Gizmo's flawless fur is almost back to a normal bright/clean gray and black. ... Ziggy, well, he must just have good genetics cause his didn't change too much

Those changes are drastic! Thank you for posting them, the pictures really show what everybody talks about.

Wow...that's a huge difference. What diet are they on now? It is obviously much healthier

So if I'm following correctly this is the 3rd diet they have been on????

PP pellets
New diet in July
Then 3rd diet as of approx. a month ago


Yeah, I wanna know what diets you've fed. They are looking good.

started with PP pellets, then a new diet started in July, until January and they have been on the newest (3rd diet LGRS) for about 4 months now

AWESOME! A lot of gliders do really well on Suggie Soup. Glad it's working for you and them.
