How to feed and what to feed sugar gliders – both are controversial subjects. Like all other pets that are new to this field, their requirements and feeds are somewhat of a mystery, but the longer you use them as pets, the more you know about their needs. Unfortunately, in the case of sugar gliders, many books, websites, and stores do not provide quality information, which make the situation more complicated.

Of course, proper food of a good quality is necessary for the health of sugar gliders. There are many diseases that can appear because of improper feeding with the most common one being bone disease that results from the lack of improper calcium and phosphorus in the sugar glider’s diet.

Naturally, the sugar gliders eat eucalyptus gum, sap, insects, nectar and honey. Also, they can eat bird eggs, small birds and many other items. But this is a very tough diet to give them during captivity. So, you must provide them a variety of food in order to make them healthy and active in captivity.

If we would take good care of our sugar gliders’ diet and avoid the things which are not good for them, then we can protect them from different kinds of diseases. You must give them such a food which contains the necessary vitamins that a sugar glider needs. Something such as peach juice is very good for them and they also love to take drink it.
