Certainly fine, although, I wouldnt recommend baby food versions for adult critters, just buy a bag of frozen fruits or buy fresh. Dice fruits up to hand-sized for serving.

thank you guys. I do buy fresh., but sometimes he gets chicken baby food. he wont eat boiled or scrambled. etc. he is picky. im trying new things. and this jar was in with the chicken i guess i will pay more attention.. baby food is just a "midnight snack" or perhaps a side dish.. hes just super picky so i give him what he likes and i try new things with him just to see if he will eat new stuff. he is just like my daughter. doesnt like his food to touch,etc....

Oranges are okay to. There are many websites where you can find a whole list of fruits and veggies that are glider-safe. Just Google it

The fruits and veggies that you would eat are mostly safe.

Foods to Avoid are Rhubarb, Onions, Garlic, Leeks and Chocolate..they are toxic.

Some things are hard on their digestion, too much citrus(some is fine but not everyday), broccoli and cauliflower can cause gas. Corn (usually a favorite) is high in phosporus and should be limited unless fed with a high calcium staple/nectar replacement diet like HPW diets or BML.

Some choose not to feed grapes due to the problems they cause in dogs.
I don't feed grapes just because I'd rather not take a chance and there are many other things to offer them.

Congrats and your new babies and welcome to GG.
