I'd love to hear from anyone who's personally used this diet or has some experience with diet related stuff. Share your opinions and reviews.

(Just throwing this out there for some discussion.)

Is this the same diet valkyriemom was talking about on GG? It sure got a professional write-up rather fast since then! lol

For me I think the diet is interesting, it seems like this is what wombaroo intended the high protein supplement to be used for.

I would love some opinions and other thoughts about this diet as well. I have narrowed it down to this one and one other to chose between. The one thing that I like about this one is the smaller amount of veggies since that is the one thing I have the hardest time getting Snappy to eat. I am curious about the nutritional difference between the yogurt and the Small Carnivore Food though.

Has anyone seen this yet?

There has been a conversation on GC about this and it appears that the only authorized distributor in the US does not have the product yet so we aren't sure if this is really it or not.

I hadn't heard that. Not on GC much though.. I wonder about that now, how odd.. =/

I feed the AWD. I have looked into the Small Carnivore Food link above and it seems fishy. I emailed them

Me: I was wondering if I could get this is the original packaging and how much it would cost?

Their Reply:
I'm sorry, we don't sell this product in original packaging because it comes in a large enough quantity that it's more practical for most of our customers if we break it down into smaller sizes. We tend to only buy one big bag at a time & break the whole thing down & that usually lasts a while before we have to re-order.

I also asked around on boards and it seems that the only supplier is not able to get them in the US yet; Here is the thread on that:

I have opted not to use the Sweet Sugar Glider's version and to continue to use yogurt until it officially becomes available.

Oh, I also asked Womabroo via email about how long their product was studied-I can't seem to find the email now but she said it was studied for 2 years, been fed for 28 years.

ETA: The OP was asking for reviews: My gliders LOVE their AWD and I feel that it's the most natural of the diets; I also like that it has been fed for 28 years and there are no [reported] side effects like Iron Storage Disease. AWD encourages natural foliage and "live food" such as meal worms and crickets plus the protein, fruits, and veges. I am currently working on some recipes to make it a bit easier so folks know it always has the 1.5:1 ratio (they recommend a 1.5:1 ratio over a 2:1 ratio); I will post them on here or post them on my blog and just link it here as soon as I can.
