Ive had a few posts on here regarding food plans, and I promise this is my last post about them

I made a food plan according to the Kazko plan, and came up with this :

1/2 cup of tofu
1/2 cup of scrambled egg

1/4 cup of banana
1/4 cup of mango
1/4 cup of strawberry
1/4 cup of cantaloupe

1/4 cup of carrots
1/4 cup of kale
1/4 cup of sweet potatos
1/4 cup of collards

1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup of oatmeal

is this good? ;-;

I do not know, and I personally would not take the time to do the calculations of needed nutrients for the sugar glider per meal using that plan. I rather follow one that has been formulated, calculated, and proven.

With Kazko's feeding plan you need to be very careful that you are providing adequate calcium.

This would require "doing the math" on your combination of foods to make sure there is more calcium than phosphorus.

Your glider will not get a very wide variety of foods with this combination (only 4 fruits and 4 vegetables in a batch that will probably last a month)

There are a number of widely used feeding plans that will insure that your glider gets adequate calcium.

I have links to several diets on my web page, including my own GliderKids Feeding plan as one of the option.

Here is some information on calculation of the calcium to phosphorus ratios that may help you:

Thank you so much for that link! Turns out that the diet doesn't have a good ratio, but I was able to find the ingredients of Val's green variety in my local store, thank you all who helped!
