Can't see healthy diet for pet squirrel thread anymore

[spamrestricted]

Hi,

Can someone help? I always referred to this thread - http://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28009, but it tells me I don't have permission or it no longer exists. Does anyone know where I might be able to find it again? I thought it was a really good thread and referred to it a lot :)

:thankyou

i think, it's being updated right now and still in progress.

I believe you can find it on www.henryspets.com

I can't see it either.

I guess I'll save a ton of dough buying alpo for my flyer :P

Sorry TM, that link is no good. I'm not sure I understand why the original healthy Diet post was removed. Is there something on there that shouldn't be? If so, we need to know. I thought that the healthy diet was something that was put together as a group effort. If so, then why has it been removed? It is really one of the most important pieces of information for new people to have access to, especially if they are dealing with an MBD squirrel and need to learn the right foods to feed.

There really is no reason to have to link to an outside source to get this information. It should be posted here on TSB. Maybe we should be working on a TSB version that could be posted with no copyrights. If it is being re-worked, shouldn't we all be involved?

The revised diet will be posted sometime today. Folks can then make comments. THEN we are going to try for a Flyer-Specific version of the Healthy Diet.

I second that -- :wott
