Are you owning sugar gliders but a bit overwhelmed by the daily feedings, not having the time to feed your exotic pet with fresh cut fruits and vegetables every day?
Sugar gliders in the wild feed from insects, small rodents, pollen, sap from trees and some wild fruits. Nature offers them a perfect balanced diet which helps them maintain perfect weight and good health. The challenge for many glider owners is to reproduce this type of diet at home.
Once you take those little guys in captivity, you MUST try to mimic as well as you can their natural diet in order to ensure good health and normal weight. Not too heavy and not too thin.
However, if you can't commit 100% to a healthy and natural diet the worst mistake you could make is to give them an only half way diet where they would get ONLY some of the nutrients they need to keep healthy and ultimately alive. If you can't give your sugar gliders a FULL diet with every daily fresh food and supplement that they need your better alternative is to give up on the fresh food all together and give them a veterinarian brand of dry food.
This type of food, however, will never completely replace the benefits of a fresh food diet, but it will still be better than missing the point day after day offering your pets only half of the vitamins and supplement found in food that they need.
So, to recapitulate here, if you have invested money in your little exotic pets and want them to be the happiest and healthiest that they can be, by any means give them fresh fruits, vegetables, insects and anything that is recommended for them.
However, if you don't have the time to prepare fresh food every day, which by the way shouldn't take more than 15 minutes, your best bet is to resort to sugar glider dry food, while still watching for their weight and health.
