Suger Gliders are not an animal to keep if you are not prepared to provide a full, varied and to a certain degree a complex diet.

 

Below are recipes from various sources. I make these recipes up and place into ice cube trays. The cubes when frozen are placed in air tight containers and placed back in freezer.

I make a number of these recipes at the same time, so I can vary the food each night. Also doing it this way I can actually make enough food to last a number of months.

 

 

No 1

1 Papaya

1 Mango

A few slices of Apple

A couple of segments of Orange

1/2 a Carrot.

 

These are placed into a blender.

 

Hienz powdered baby food such as Peachy Porridge is mixed with hot water to the consistancy of a yoghurt.

A couple of tablespoons of fruit flavoured bio yohurt is added.

These are placed in the blender with the fruit and mixed, again to the consistancy of a yoghurt.

 

This is then pourded into the ice trays to be frozen.

 

All the following recipes are prepared as above, so only ingrediants will be given

 

No. 2

 

Papaya

6 Strawberries

6 chunks of melon

A few slices of Pear

6 Tablespoons of Powdered Baby Fruit ( mix with hot water )

Sweet Corn

Boiled Egg

 

 

No. 3

 

Jar of babies Chicken / Turkey dinner

Small amount of boiled rice / pasta

Small amount of mixed vegs, cook for few mins.

I add Eucalyptas Honey or my Gliders will not touch it.

 

Again blend all.

 

 

As well as the above cubes of food we also feed ( in seperate dishes ).

 

Some small sized chicken cat food ( good quality ) and mealworms, crickets and locusts.

Some small pieces of fruit such as mango, apple, berries etc and some poppy seeds.

 

 

 

Occasionally we add liquid calcium to the water and on other occasions we add Nectar to the water. The Sugar Gliders love the nectar solution.
