so i know our little critters love fruit,but what about berries.. can they have strawberries raspberries and blackberries i know blueberries but the others i do not.

thanks
lacy

I have given all of those.

did you shave the first layer off or just give as is?

I just give them as-is. There shouldn't be any issues.

All those are great. The only thing I don't give them is grapes. It hasn't been proved to cause any deaths yet, but I don't take any chances. I think grapes are suppose to cause kidney problems in other animals like dogs.

okay awesome thanks

Hm.. now I wonder if there is any harm in giving suggies grapes. I have given my babies grapes before and now I'm wondering about it.

While grapes can cause kidney failure in dogs, remember that dogs are carnivores -- they're designed to eat meat. Gliders are omnivores, they need fruit, vegetables and protein to be healthy. I'm not going to step into the debate about grapes; I'm just pointing out that dogs and gliders have different dietary requirements.

you sure the seeds wont hurt them? im still scared to give them the blackberries
