Sugar Gliders are gumivores, meaning they are genetically designed to digest gums and saps. Acacia gum is a probiotic, soluble fiber which is essential for healthy bowel movements. In the wild, almost 40% of a Sugar Glider's diet consists of acacia gum and other saps, especially during winter months when insects are less available. Acacia gum is high in complex carbohydrates, an important part to a glider's diet. It is also a great supplement for them because they can digest about 90% of the gum, getting the most of it's nutritional value. In the wild, insects makeup another great portion (50%) of a Sugar Glider's diet, which is why Exotic Nutrition has added mealworms to Gumivore-fare. Mealworms provide the proteins necessary for a complete glider diet.

Exotic Nutrition's Gumivore-fare is an easy to feed, acacia gum base supplemental food source for Sugar Gliders. This product delivers pure acacia gum (in jell form) combined with whole fresh large mealworms and fresh fruit pulp.  Gumivore-fare simplifies and mimics the gumivore's natural food sources. Gliders can't resist this food which is native to their homeland, and natural diet. Mixed Fruit Gumivore-fare offers all the great value of the original Gumivore-fare with more delicious fruit!

Gumivore-fare is formulated to be fed as a supplementary food source to Sugar gliders and other gum feeding mammals. It should not be offered as the sole food source, feed along with a balanced diet plan. Offer in an open dish, or it can be placed into hollow openings in branches, to allow animals to forage. Gumivore-fare has no preservatives, is all natural, easy to feed jell, that is ready to use. Can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or can be frozen for longer storage (6 months).

Exotic Nutrition has created a new product that changes the game of pet exercise wheels. The new Silent Runner revolutionizes the idea of the wheel, taking what was already great and making it even better. Before this wheel, there was virtually no wheel that protected pets from harmful axles while also providing an enclosed area with a preferred solid wall back. We have listened to the concern from customers and as a result, created this product. Not only does the Silent Runner protect your pet, it also runs on dual stainless steal ball-bearings, keeping it extremely quiet for you. The durable structure and easy-clean waterproof parts are sure to last the lifetime of your pet. This wheel is conveniently offered with a solid-metal stand and direct cage attachment (sold separate). Get all the details and full disclosure below!


What is it? The Silent Runner wheel is an innovative pet exercise wheel featuring a safe, solid running surface, silent roller-bearing operation and complete tail & fur safe design. Dual encased ball bearings allow for a smooth, low friction, quiet and smooth glide during use.

Is it safe? The axle-free construction eliminates the possibility of tail entanglement, back injury or worse. That means no more center axle that your pet's fur can get caught on. This design has no pinch areas, and the natural 'bean-shaped' openings allow for an easy entrance and exit, The openings will entice pets to enter and run against a preferred solid wall back. The heavy duty (pet-safe powder coated) metal stand allows for give, protecting your pet from joint pain caused by running on hard fixed surface. Running tracks are solid and have a textured interior non-slip surface for excellent grip. The interior bolt head is protected by a smooth snap-on cover. Every Silent Runner Wheel is assembled and tested in the USA.

How quiet is it? The simple answer...virtually silent. "Things roll better than they slide." The encased dual stainless steel roller-bearings yield low friction, which provides a smooth roll of the wheel. The bearings fit tightly in the wheel so there is no squeaking.

Which size do I need? The Silent Runner wheel is available in 3 sizes to suit many small animals. The 9 inch size is recommended for smaller Sugar Gliders. The 12 inch (regular) size is recommended for larger (or two) Sugar Gliders, and the 12 inch (wide) size is recommended for cages with 3+ Sugar Gliders.



What do I get? Every wheel comes with a heavy duty (safe) powder coated metal stand that allows for a slight give when in use, protecting your pet from joint damage caused by running on a fixed surface. The rear(back)plate has 2 encased stainless steel bearing sets and the front plate has the 'bean shaped' entry holes. The tracks have 'grip grove texture' on the inner surfaces for ideal traction, and the track is removable for easy cleaning. Approved by veterinarians, the Silent Runner wheels are made to the highest standards in the industry. Silent Runners can be used either free-standing or will attach directly to a wire cage with the optional hardware package (sold separate). Completely washable.

Will the bearings last? Silent Runner Wheels are made with high quality stainless steel encased sealed bearings. There are two bearing sets per wheel, mounted in the back plate. The bearings are built to last, they are the same type of bearings used in the manufacture of roller skates. If after time, the bearings do need replacing, you can replace the bearings individually(we offer replacements) or you can simply replace the back panel of the wheel, which contains 2 new bearings.

How do I attach it to the cage side? Silent Runner wheels can be mounted directly to the side of any wire cage, cage mounting does require a 'Cage Attachment Kit' which is sold separate. The Cage Attachment Kit allows you to mount any size Silent Runner wheel to any wire cage. The Cage Attachment kit contains two solid steel plates (powder coated), an longer bolt, aluminum spacer, safety bolt cap and wingnut screw. Mounting is simple and will take about 30 seconds to complete.






Can I get nail trimming tracks for it? Yes, Sandy Tracks are available for all size Silent Runner Wheels. You can purchase these durable (washable) Sandy Tracks in the Silent Runner section of the website. Sandy tracks are wheel tracks that replace the standard Silent Runner tracks and provide a 'soft sand' abrasive surface that will trim your pets' nails while they run on the wheels.
