I have two male gliders, and with the exception of the 1st month i owned them ive always fed pricillas. They get two ice cubes worth a night, and that is a bit more than 4 tablespoons. A few times per week i put some extra veggies on the side, and a few times per week i put about a tablespoon of sugar glider cereal/pellets from exotic nutrition in the cage. They also get two or three cherios nightly for snacks. EVERYTHING is always gone in the morning. Are they the type of animal that will eat only what they need (cats) or will they eat until they are fat and sick (dogs)

I have a cat that eats until he's fat! He looks like a black and white Garfield!!!

My gliders frequently clean their plates, too. I don't honestly know if anyone knows for certain how self-regulating their diets are. If they are energetic, appear playful and healthy, I'd say you're fine.

My gliders always eat until they are full, then stop. I usually have some food to toss in the mornings.

Each glider should get 2 tablespoons of protein, 1 tablespoon of veggies and 1 tablespoon of fruit per night. Again - that PER glider.

You always want to make certain there is a little left over each morning so you know each one is getting plenty to eat.

Gliders usually stop eating when they are full.

My pair always have some left over in the morning. They each get bml, friut and veggies every night (a tablespoon of each for each glider) and a few bugs in morning. My cat is a big eater too lol.
