What Can My Suggie Eat?

    What Can My Suggie Eat? 

        Suggies like sweet tasting food hence Sugar Glider. However they eat insects for protein. NEVER FEED YOUR SUGGIE INSECTS FROM OUTSIDE

         Your sugar gliders diet should consist of 

               -50% protein (insects such as crickets or meal worms.) 

               -30% fruits 

               -20% vegetables

           Your fruits and veggies should ALWAYS be fresh and whatever isn't eaten by morning should be thrown away. 

            Treats such as honey dew,honey, nectar, bananas, and honey nut cheerios can be given in moderation. NO CITRUS FOODS!  Caution with corn, it can become an addiction!

I Can't Make It to Petsmart Once A Week To Get Meal Worms, Is There An Alternitive? 

Y

                                Yes, there is!
       For about $15 at Petsmart you can get these vita pellets. You give your suggie about 2 table spoons a night, along with the fruit(s) and veggie(s) you selected for the night.

Baby food will be your best friends when you have a baby suggie. Letting it eat it off of  your fingers will help with bonding too. Make sure your meal worms are big enough for your Suggie to take bites out of, otherwise they won't die and they can eat your Suggies stomach!
