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

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
