I’ve been a glider owner for about a week now, and i want to know what the experienced glider owners use as far as calcium/protein supplement, daily diet, etc. I did a heck of a lot of research before i got her, so i think im doing alright (im feeding her apple, nuts, i let her lick honey off my finger as a treat, and mealworms so far)
What advice can a pro give me? Where do you buy your stuff?
Thanks!
Nick

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.
This is how we prepare the food for our sugar gliders every night. Our intention is to educate about sugar glider diet and other care. This video should be helpful to anyone considering purchasing sugar gliders as pets.
