I was just wondering if I can give strawberrys, blueberrys, blackberrys and rasberrys to my girls?? Im a little scared to give these berrys to them because of the tiny seeds they have??

Yes, you can give those to your glider.

EDIBLE seeds are just that - EDIBLE to both humans and gliders. Gliders can safely have the tiny seeds that are present on strawberries and other berries.
You must avoid seeds that you, yourself, would not eat.

Many people actually feed diets that INCLUDE sprouted SEEDS. So, it is really an injustice that there is so much negative information out there about the feeding of seeds in general.

Feed the berries. Your gliders will love you for it.

OH THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I feel so much better now!! I myself love fresh berrys, I buy them all the time, and all I wanted to do is shear my berrys with them.... Thank you

you may want to read this thread www.sugarglider.com/glidergossip/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=26246&whichpage=2 its about oxalate. and the berries are high in oxalate www.upmc.com/HealthAtoZ/patienteducation/Documents/LowOxalateDiet.pdf you can feed it to them just give more calcuim to make up for it. im not going to try and explain it. it makes my head hurt sometimes lol XD

Berries are like cherries the next morning...if you aren't prepared or haven't seen it before, it can look like a mini murder scene. LOL

now i'm curious i might feed him berries tonight

and make sure they dont throw them out of the cage. my boys do that sometimes and i have stepped on one and left a purple spot on the floor. thankfully it didnt stain lol. im going to have to try the cherries too. : P

I hear that from everyone, but I never noticed any "mini murder scenes" with my glidres..and I feed berries all the time.

I certainly did, especially with cherries..or I wouldn't say it.

I feed ours the berries either fresh or frozen and it seems that everytime they act like kids in a food fight. what a mess and yes, it can be a bit like something from CSI, but at least you know what it was and how it got there. They love the berries and I try to cut them down to smaller bites.

Thank you all so much, Im now looking forward to Glider CSI lol
