Hello, I'm getting 2 sugar gliders THIS WEEKEND! I'm so excited!They are going to be 8 weeks old! I heard that adult diets are different then the babies. What fruits and veggies can I give my babies, that are safe.

Thanks,
Alec

Babies eat whatever the parents are served. The parents teach the joeys how to eat solid foods on their own, so id say that the diets are not different. Joeys just need to learn how to eat things, they usually will crab or turn their noses up to new foods (at least this is what my joeys did). As long as the joeys are fully weaned and eating on their own, you can feed them whatever is on the safe fruit/veggie list:

It may take some time for them to eat new food. You should ask the breeder or previous owner what they have been feeding.
