Foods & Supplements
All of these supplements are a regular part of the diet I feed my gliders. The whole point of me stocking suggie items was so that I never ran out! Oh, and to make it easy for you guys too of course!
Correct nutrition is incredibly important for gliders, it's the difference between a lifespan of 4 years or a lifespan of up to 14 years! Good nutrition helps keep gliders active, helps them to fight infections and aids healing.
I never sell anything that I'm unsure about, or haven't tried on my own gliders.
Store all foods and supplements in a cool, dark place. Insectivore Fare should be kept sealed, and will last up to 4 months if stored correctly, it can even be frozen. The supplements if stored correctly will last up to two years, but they must be kept sealed.

Please read the postage changes I have been forced to make due to the unreliable nature of the Royal Mail HERE.
Sugar glider foods:
Insectivore Fare
Insectivore Fare is a soft, moist pelleted food designed to be fed free choice; many people like to leave it in the cage during the daytime in case their gliders fancy a snack.
One tablespoon per pair of sugar gliders is sufficient.
Skunks also like Insectivore Fare as do Short Tailed Opossums, Tenrecs, Coatimundi, Opossums, and Meerkats.

Monkey Biscuits
Monkey Biscuits can be used as an alternative staple to Insectivore Fare. The biscuits are quite large and hard, but gnawable! They are orange flavour and gliders love them. If you prefer, they can be softened with fruit juice (Mango or Papaya as opposed to Apple or Orange)
These biscuits are also suitable for Marmosets and Parrots.

Glider Complete
Glider Comlete contains fruit, honey, and bee pollen, all in a simplified, easy to feed dry diet. As with all EN dried diets, it is pelletised, not an extruded pellet. Extruded pellets lose much of their nutrition due to the manufacturing processes that are involved. Glider Complete is nutrient dense and uses locally (to them) harvested produce.

Pure Acacia Gum This very fine powder can be mixed with water or sprinkled on and mixed in to the food. Acacia gum is part of the wild diet, it is a soluble fibre which is essential for healthy bowel movements and it is a probiotic. Sugar glider intestines are designed to digest gums, whereas other animals cannot digest it. To me, this is an essential part of the diet. |

Treats
Treats should only be given in moderation, they are a useful aid for bonding, for training your gliders and they can make the diet a bit more interesting.
However, treats should make up only a tiny percentage of the diet. Too many treats could lead to obesity.
