how long does it take until sugar glider babies start to eat solid food? like fruits, veggies, protein?

Posted on June 8, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I have two little girl sugar babies who are currently drinking milk from the mom. Just wondering how long it will be until they start eating other food? Also does anyone have any advice on how to introduce the food to them when its the right time or what to start them with when theyre the appropriate age let me know :) Just want to make sure and see what yall have to say I always love to hear about what other ppl have experianced in the past….

oh yea! And also how many weeks old should they be once its safe to take them out and hold them…any advice about bonding with the little ones? I just dont want to do anything too soon…thanks!
thanks but that first answer was really kinda worthless……. I know I could talk to the vet, I just wanted to ask on here first, I like to hear about other peoples experiances who own sugar gliders because acutal owners usually understand more and give really good advice and stories.

best answer will go to someone who actually has an answer other then i dont know….lol

Sugar glider diet?

Posted on March 9, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I adopted an adult female glider about a month ago. Every night, I dutifully chop of an array of fruits and veggies, hand-feed her mealworms, and add crickets and a peanut or two to the fruit. She also has some Sugar glider science diet that she won’t touch, and I put a small bowl of mango pulp in her cage.

Problem is, she ALWAYS goes for the peanuts first, sometimes eats a cricket or two crickets, and doesn’t touch the fruit (peaches, apples, mangoes, honeydew, strawberries and grapes in little bite-size pieces). Occasionally I’ll throw in a small piece of carrot, a kernel of corn and a lima bean. She’ll lick at the mango pulp a little (it’s a new addition), won’t touch the science diet pellets, and if I let her, she’ll eat 25 or 30 mealworms (which I don’t let her anymore!). I don’t think she knows how a glider is supposed to eat!

What can I do to get her to expand her diet? I know too much
I live in FL, which is one of the few states in which it is legal to own a sugar glider without an exotic pet license. The only thing you can’t do is breed them for money. I’ve done my homework.
