In the wild, sugar gliders are opportunistic omnivores that primarily eat vegetables and nectar from tree saps, insects, and some fruits. They can also be fed a variety of grains, legumes, and nuts to add protein and fat.
A balanced diet is the key to healthy gliders! It should include a variety of different fresh fruits and vegetables, about 25% of their daily diet.
Vegetables should be offered in small amounts a couple times a day. Various greens like kale, collards, broccoli, and cauliflower are good options, as are peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, and beets.
Avoid canned vegetables, because they often contain pesticides and other harmful chemicals. Fresh, uncooked veggies are always best for sugar gliders.
Do not feed too much of any one vegetable at a time, as this can cause an upset stomach. Ideally, you should give them a different vegetable each night.
Keep in mind that sugar gliders are nocturnal animals, so they need to be fed at night to avoid any stomach upset or discomfort during the day.
The best way to feed your glider is to give them a small meal during the evening in addition to their regular fruit/veg and pellets. This will allow them to digest their food and get full before they go to sleep.
A well-balanced diet should be paired with high quality vitamin supplements. The Pet Glider’s Multi-Vitamin with Calcium is a great choice to ensure your glider gets the calcium they need. Low calcium levels can cause serious health problems, including trembling and shaking, hind leg or total paralysis, and ultimately death.
