I don't think that would be such a good idea. It could cause stomach upset, diarrhea, stress....I could be wrong though.

if they're on BML now, then make the one batch of food and slowly wean them to the diet you want if that's what you mean. Slowly use less and less of the BML and more HPW over two to four weeks. smile

no as of right now they are eating cat food and fruits, I can't order my stuff for the HPW until I get my new debit card in the mail frown I should have it by the end of this week beginning of next week or so, then i'll have to wait for shipping.
would it be ok to leave them on the cat food for now? and offer them a bigger variety of fruits and veggies along with some mealies? I should have all of my HPW stuff within a week.

ahhh...I'd say get them off of the cat food right now and just give them fruits and veggies and a little yogurt once in a while...mealworms...

You would be better off doing the BML and then gradually transitioning to HPW. Just don't switch overnight. You need to get them off the cat food asap.
If you find that they really like the BML, you could leave them on it. It is very easy to follow and no online ordering needed. I like that part because I usually run out and and forget to get more until the last minute.
Lots like the HPW also. Any plan is better than the cat food though.

I keep hearing about a "smell" associated with BLM, what is this smell?

All glider have at least some smell (mostly referring to waste products). The smell can be better or worse depending on what they eat.

Starting on BML should be fine... I don't think it would be a problem to wean them onto another diet.

Gliders don't usually get a smell when on BML, but mixing the chicken baby food and eggs in the blender can be pretty smelly laugh I have kids tho, so I think my sense of smell went out with the 1 millionth diaper change....

Yeah, it does stink a bit when you are mixing the bML, but it goes away after that. You don't notice a small when feeding later.
