Hej guys :)
I have some questions about food :D
1. How much can sugar gliders eat?
2.What they must get besides fruit and vegetables?
3. I know they have to eat insects... but can they be replased with something ealse?
4. Is there any special food for them, like it is for cats and dogs?

This are mt basic questions...thank you for your help :D ;)

1) Mine eat 40-60 grams of food each night, depending on how much they like what I'm serving.
2) They really need protein (50% of their diet is recommended) and the proper calcium to phosphorus ration (2:1 respectively).
3) Yes, mine won't eat insects so I've been feeding hard boiled eggs and boiled chicken.
4) Most people feed a staple food that you mix yourself. Gliderpedia has a list of common staple foods. I feed LGRS, which is a mix of papaya juice, honey, eggs, fly pupae, soy protein, and a few other things. Most people will tell you not to feed pellets as the staple food as it can cause abscesses and abrasions in the mouth. It is okay to leave dry food in the cage during the day as a "midnight" snack for them.

1. Once you have selected a diet (check them out in Gliderpedia) then follow the serving directions given.
2. They need a protein source and make sure they have the proper cal/phs ratios along with the fruit and vegetables.
3. They don't have to eat insects, but I'm sure they enjoy them, some people feed them insects. I feed mine fruit blended yogurt (without aspartame) as a treat instead of insects, they get protein and calcium and mine love blue berry flavored.
4. You can purchase a pelleted food for treat or for daytime snackers, but not as a staple, check the Gliderpedia under diets.

thank you for this :) its really helpful :D

I give mine chicken baby food for protein (Beachnut all natural) and sweeten it with some all natural yogurt, baby applesauce, and honey or buddy fruit. My gliders love it (along with the other foods already listed).

1) Sugar gliders will stop eating when they are full so they pretty much tell you how much they eat, I think the average is about 2 tablespoons of fruit/veg per night along with a protein source. I always try to aim for a little bit left over in the morning, that way I know every glider has had enough, especially when you are keeping a few together. If you get clean bowls then you wouldn't know if 1 was going hungry.
2) Besides fruit and veg they should have a protein source and various suppliments.
3) They don't HAVE to have insects, they're part of their natural diet in the wild (as obviously boiled chicken and scrambled eggs are not) but we have adapted diets to still make them suitable without the need to feed insects. Some people still do, some people feed them a few times a week as an enrichment treat, some can't stand to feed them at all. It's down to you.
4) I wouldn't say there was any special food for them, they wont get everything they need just from fruits/veg and a protein source (unless the protein is from the HWP powder which is supplimented already). I have Bee Pollen, Acacia Gum, Glider Cal and Glider Booster that I suppliment my guys meals with :)

Thank you :)
Everything you were talking about in 4. question, do you know where i can get it (onile stores in europe meybe?)?

I'm in the UK so I get all of my products from a UK shop but they're all Exotic Nutrition products that are shipped from the US. So it's probably cheaper for you just to order straight from exoticnutrition.com :)

Thank you ;) i will look at it :D

Hey guys.
Today i had a little more time and i found this online store in UK and i want to know if is here any good food for sugar gliders? just as a treat or snack :D

Error, missing URL. 5

This is where I buy all of my glider products. The lady who owns the shop has kept and bred gliders for over 10yrs now, she is a good friend of mine and as far as I'm concerned her opinion is worth more to me than anyone else.
I know that all of the products she stocks she has tried and tested herself on her own animals. The Sugar Cane Treats are the only product I think she hasn't had sucess with, her gliders just weren't interested in them, but gliders in the UK aren't brought up on a 'sweet' diet anyway so that could be the reason.

A lot of her products are exotic nutrition products that she buys in bulk for sale in the US, so if you are after one of them I'd suggest buying straight from the exotic nutrition website as postage will probably be cheaper for you if you are based with the US.

I have bought most of these products myself for my gliders so if there is anything in particular you are keen to try then let me know and i'lll see if I can give you the opinion of my gliders :)

Im from Slovenia (Europe) and i touth that it would be cheaper from UK that US?

In that case it would be cheaper for you to buy from the UK shop :)
Sorry, I thought you were based in the US

No no :)
im from Slovenia, thats in Europe (near Austria, Italy, Hungary, Croatia)
So i can order from this store? :))

yeah you can order from the website :)
