List some of the suggested foods that can be fed to sugar gliders
Commercial diets for sugar gliders are available and should be included as part of their diet. The diet should
consist of approximately 75 percent fruits and vegetables and 25 percent protein such as meats and insects.
A list of suggested fresh fruits includes apples, apricots, bananas, melons, cherries, dates, figs, grapes,
oranges, peaches, pears, pineapple, plums, and strawberries.
A list of vegetables that one may feed includes asparagus, beans, beets, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, peas,
sweet potato, and sweet corn.
Lean, cooked beef and poultry are good sources of protein. Hard-boiled eggs, chopped or mashed, and
scrambled eggs are good protein sources and may be fed occasionally.
The sugar glider will enjoy crickets, grasshoppers, mealworms, and wax worms. These can be fed as treats.
Feed live food sparingly because some insects are high in fat and low in calcium.
