    Feeding

    Serve 24g (approximately 2 tablespoons) of salad mix per glider daily, typically divided as 1 tablespoon vegetables and 1 tablespoon fruits.

    These salad mixes are designed to pair with HPW-style diets (OHPW, GO-HPW, Critter Love® Plus).

    Preparation

    1. Place a 2.5-gallon Rubbermaid freezer-safe container nearby, with the lid removed.
    1. Chop all fruits and vegetables into manageable pieces (gliders can handle larger pieces).
    1. Weigh the ingredients using a gram scale and add them to the container.
    1. Stir thoroughly with a large spoon to mix.
    1. Cover the container and freeze.
    1. After 2-3 hours, stir the mixture again to prevent clumping. Repeat this process during feeding time and again before bedtime.
    1. Once frozen, scoop out the appropriate serving size (24g per glider) as needed.
