Glider Complete is a sugar glider staple food made by Exotic Nutrition, a company whose gliders diets are named by veterinary sources as formulated options. It can be a good base for the pellet third of the diet, but like any staple it needs fresh food, insects and calcium alongside it. Check the current label for ingredients, since formulas can change.
What it is
Glider Complete is sold as a complete glider diet. It is a staple, meant to give a balance of protein, vitamins and minerals that is hard to get from fruit and nectar alone. Exotic Nutrition also makes other glider products, so compare labels before you buy.
How to use it
- Offer it in the evening and keep it available through the night.
- Replace it with fresh food each day, and discard anything spoiled.
- Use it as roughly one third of the diet. The rest should be a nectar or protein mix and fresh extras.
- Keep fresh water available at all times.
Still needed with a complete food
- Vegetables and a little fruit, rotated through the week. See our produce guide.
- A few insects every other day. See mealworms and sugar gliders.
- Calcium. Ask your vet whether your glider still needs a supplement with this food and how much.
How to choose a staple
- Choose a product made for sugar gliders.
- Look for whole-food ingredients, not sugar or dyes high on the list.
- Switch foods gradually over one to two weeks.
- If your glider refuses it, don’t force it; try mixing a little into its favorite food.
Bottom Line
Glider Complete can anchor the staple part of a diet, but no single product replaces variety and vet guidance. Build the full plan with A Healthy Sugar Glider Diet.
