Sugar Glider Diet: Water

For a complete sugar glider diet, water is an essential component. In fact, it is so important that a lot of pet owners simply take it for granted, which isn't a very good idea. Sugar gliders live naturally in the wild where there is adequate water supply. You cannot keep your sugar glider away from fresh water for long times.

Sugar glider diets can be reasonably complicated, but water is simple. All you need to do is to just put a fresh water supply in the cage of your sugar glider. This shouldn't be too hard now.

Sugar glider diets do contain some amount of water. Most notably, the fruits that you might give your sugar glider has some amount of water in it. However, this is seldom adequate for the animal to survive. Thus you need to keep an alternative water supply.

By water supply, I mean a fresh water supply. A lot of pet owners do not really understand fresh water. It simply means FRESH WATER! Do not add any vitamins or supplements to the water. These can be added to the sugar glider diet that you prepare but not to the water. Sugar glider water needs to be fresh and clean. There is nothing complicated about it, so don't complicate it, as simple as that.
