In it I will explain what Mealworms are, what vitamins and grains your glider needs, and how to make your glider’s favorite foods. Then, you can give your glider a treat after it’s eaten.

Mealworms
Mealworms are the perfect supplement to the sugar glider diet. Although they may not like the taste, sugar gliders are used to eating insects and can handle humans. Mealworms will help your sugar glider stay healthy by providing your critter with protein and vitamins. Sugar gliders also enjoy a variety of fruits and vegetables, such as apples and oranges. They are especially fond of fruits that have already been peeled and pitted. You can also feed them chopped veggies, such as broccoli, cabbage, and squash.
Fruits
A good way to monitor your sugar glider’s diet is to keep a journal. Make sure you write down each feeding and keep it up to date. Try to feed your glider the same fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. Then, you’ll have a running record of what your gliders love and don’t. Also, write down when they are in heat, whether a female is in heat, and what kind of weather they’re having. Your gliders won’t be too picky, but you will be able to tell what’s best for your pet.
Grains
Acritter Love(r) sugar glider diet is a protein-rich kibble designed for captive bred sugar gliders. It contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids, Omega 3:6 fatty acids, Flaxseed Oil, and a balanced nutritional profile. It is available from an Authorised Retailer, PETOPIA. However, it is not necessary to feed this diet to your sugar glider.
Vitamins
A balanced diet for your sugar glider should contain three or four different types of fruits. Avoid feeding them anything with Asian flavoring, onions, or garlic. Similarly, avoid rhubarb or rinds. If possible, rotate the types of food you offer your glider. Alternatively, you can add some fruits and vegetables to their diet. This will ensure that they get the vitamins they need, but keep the ratios of cal to phos reasonable.
Minerals
A sugar glider diet should include several varieties of fruits and vegetables. However, they shouldn’t be given rhubarb or fruit that requires peeling or Asian flavoring. Another thing to keep in mind is that these diets should never be fed raw. Also, make sure that they’re not overly processed or contain onions or garlic. These are not good for your sugar gliders.
Menadione
The Menadione in the Critter Love Sugar Glider Diet provides the sugar glider with essential vitamin K, a nutrient that’s found in large quantities in fresh, unprocessed fruit and vegetables. Although the synthetic vitamin K has anti-hemorrhagic properties, it’s safe to use in small amounts in the diet. A good source of vitamin K is green leafy plants and vegetables and the resulting stable gut fermentation. Pet food manufacturers also supplement with K3, which is not toxic to sugar gliders.
Wombaroo High Protein Supplement
If you’re interested in providing the best possible nutrition for your pet, you should consider purchasing Wombaroo High Protein Supplement for sugar glider diet. Designed to boost the protein content of fruit and nectar-eating animals, this supplement contains over 50% protein. It’s also loaded with essential nutrients like omega-3 and 6-fatty acids and vitamins. This supplement can be mixed in with moist or dried foods.
Critter Love(r) Complete
The Critter Love(r) Complete sugar glided diet is an all-in-one powder containing 2:1 Ca:P ratio, Omega 6&3 Fatty Acids, Flax Seed Oil, and a delicious Vanilla scent. This diet is easy to mix and is perfect for traveling and on-the-go pets. While it does contain a higher amount of calcium, it’s still not enough to be considered a complete diet. For your sugar glider to receive the proper nutrition, you’ll need to add some other ingredients, such as food containing high protein.
