In the wild, sugar gliders are omnivores and eat both plants and insects. They also eat seeds and fruits.
Protein is provided by lean meats, and most fruits and vegetables offer good amounts of protein as well. Fruits are particularly important for the sugar glider's diet because they contain a variety of antioxidants.
Vegetables are an excellent source of fiber, which helps to lower the amount of cholesterol in your pet's system. Moreover, many vegetables are high in calcium, which is especially essential for gliders.
If you want to add cooked veggies to your pet's diet, you should start with vegetables that are low in phosphorus. These include spinach, kale and mustard greens.
Carrots are another vegetable that is safe to eat for your sugar glider. They are a good source of Vitamin A and C, and they also provide good amounts of calcium and magnesium.
If you are planning to add celery to your sugar glider's diet, it is a good idea to start slowly and to introduce the new food in small pieces. This will help your glider to get used to the new foods and reduce their chances of choking.
If you don't have any ready-made pelleted omnivore food, you can feed your sugar glider fruits, vegetables and nuts. The recommended ratio for sugar gliders is about 30% pelleted omnivore, 10% fruits-vegetables-nuts and 60% Leadbeater's mix (available in pet stores). These are a great way to give your sugar glider a varied diet and ensure they get all the nutrients they need.
