Sugar Glider Portal

Sugar glider diet is very important to ensure that your pets are healthy and active. Sugar gliders are one of the best pets you can have but they do require some care from your side.

Firstly, beware of all the scams around. You DO NOT require all the expensive stuff that sells for $1000 per month. These are not proven to be better than what you can simply make at home using ready-made ingredients. There are a lot of "pundits" out there who want to guilt-trap you into buying very expensive sugar glider diets. They are not at all worth the money spent. Your entire sugar glider diet for a month can be covered by a few tens of dollars a month.

Sugar glider diets should be balanced, just like human diets. They need all the essential ingredients to be healthy. Let us discuss them one by one.

You should remember that sugar gliders live in the wild naturally and thus you will need to simulate some diet conditions accordingly. Sugar glider diets cannot consist of all treats like berries, which is what a lot of pet owners do. Never feed your sugar glider too much artificial food. At the same time, you don't need to go hunting to get the food for your pet. Strike a balance.

Ready-made food is the best for a sugar glider. They contain all the important ingredients and you do not need to make exotic concoctions that are time consuming and costly.

However, the commonly used pellets do not cover all the needs of your sugar glider. Thus sugar glider diets need to contain supplements.
