Hand Rearing Formula recipe:
In a blender, combine the following:
* ½ cup Honey (with the exception of honeycomb, raw or unfiltered, most store bought honey is fine)
* 1 peeled boiled egg
* ¼ cup Apple Juice
Blend well, then add:
* 1 four ounce bottle pre-mixed Gerber juice with yogurt (if you can’t find this, then substitute two ounces of plain yogurt and two ounces of mixed fruit juice)
* 1 teaspoon of Vionate vitamins
Blend well, then add:
* 2 teaspoons of Rep-Cal calcium supplement non phosphorus without Vitamin D-3
* 2 jars of Stage 1 or 2 chicken baby food (2.5 ounce jars)
* 1 jar of Stage 2 sweet potato baby food (2.5 ounce jar)
* ½ cup dry baby cereal (we prefer the rice, but others may be used as well)
* 2 tablespoons of Wombaroo Milk Replacer
Blend well.
You will need to freeze this formula in either a freezer proof plastic container or ice cube trays. The formula may spoil if left in the refrigerator too long, so freeze it and only take out what is needed for semi-immediate use.
In addition to making this basic formula, I also suggest that you get some bottled water. When you actually use the formula, I suggest taking the mixture that you just made and watering it down 50/50 with spring water.
I use a clean baby jar. And I remove one part of the formula from the freezer, place it into the baby jar and then water it down by half. I recommend keeping it refrigerated for no more than 12 hours.

Yes, go to the forum http://www.sugarglider.net , they are the best resource I have found about sugar gliders and there is bound to be somebody that has had to hand raise a joey that can help right away. It’s not likely that another female will foster the joeys.
