In the wild, sugar gliders have a wide variety of foods to choose from. To be certain that your sugar gliders are getting what they need, you must also provide variety. A multitude of foods and proper vitamin supplements will contribute to a long life. While many believe that a diet mixture of fruits is enough, IT IS NOT!! Gliders are omnivorous, they must have more.


A proper mixture ratio of fruits & vegetables to protein is between 50-55% fruits and veggies to 45-50% protein sources. It has been observed that sugar glider in the will choose a diet higher (up to 75%) in protein if it is available.

For even the pickiest gliders, we have recipes to keep things hoppin' !
