As an opportunistic omnivore, sugar gliders are known to eat fruits and vegetables as well as insects, small mammals and birds. It is important that they are given a balanced diet including a mixture of fruits, vegetables and high quality pellets.
Sugar gliders love fresh fruits and veggies, especially sweeter ones such as bananas, apples, pears, mangoes, grapes and melons. They also enjoy a variety of other vegetables, such as lettuce, broccoli and carrots.
Gliders should have a minimum of 1 tables**** of fruits or vegetables per day. Make sure that their foods are fresh and do not have any preservatives in them.
The best way to ensure that your gliders get all the nutrients they need is to buy a multivitamin reptile supplement. The vitamins and minerals in this formula are specially formulated for sugar gliders, so you can be confident that your pet is receiving all of the essentials they need.
Protein is a very important part of any sugar glider’s diet. They should have enough protein in their diet to make up about a third of their daily intake. This can be done by providing them with a healthy variety of high quality pellets and by giving them some other sources of protein, such as chicken or knuckle bones, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese and tofu.
Sugar gliders are known for their appetites so it is always good to keep some treats on hand. These can include meal worms, dried yoggies, eucalyptus or other safe natural treats. However, these should only make up around 5 percent of a sugar glider’s diet.
