Sugar Glider Nutrition:
As with all animals, sugar gliders ownership bears with it the responsibility of proving the proper diet. Commercial diets are now becoming available. However, the shorter an animal has been in the domestication process (for glider, a decade or so), the more kinks there will be in their feeding regimen. This is an important point to remember when feeding your sugar glider.
Conflicting options abound. To stay abreast of the most current discoveries in sugar glider nutrition, frequent the Internet, where sugar glider food manufacturers, who have made it their mission to effect positive changes in glider nutrition, post their most recent findings.

Recent data suggests sugar gliders are prone to certain maladies caused by calcium/vitamin D deficiencies and vitamin E/selenium deficiencies. Limit the amount of fat, phosphorous, sodium, and processed in the diet. Avoid caffeine at all costs.

The diet should include a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, animal protein (including farm-raised insects and commercial diets made for insectivorous pets), and possibly a vitamin/mineral supplement (bare in mind the importance of calcium-to-phosphorous ratio of 1 ½ or 2 to 1. The overall protein (insects, eggs, boiled chicken breast, baby food, etc.) to plant matter (fruits, vegetables, nectar, etc.) ratio should hover around the 50:50 mark. Discuss with a veterinarian knowledgeable about sugar sliders what diet best suits your pet.
