Suncoast/Zookeepers
This diet is based on a 3 part routine.
- A fresh protein source - offered on a four day rotation with one item offered from the list daily:
- Mealworms - 10-12 small, 7-10 medium, or 3-5 large mealworms per glider.
- Crickets - feed 3-5 crickets per sugar glider.
- Boiled eggs (without shells) mixed with high protein/low sugar cereal (like Corn Flakes or Special K) and mixed with either honey or apple juice. One tablespoon is offered per 2 sugar gliders.
- Yogurt (blueberry or peach) - 1 tablespoon per 2 sugar gliders.
- A
fresh source of fruits and/or vegetables. The fruit and vegetable
servings should be sprinkled with a daily dose of vitamin (Vionate
Vitamin/Mineral Nutritional Supplement) and calcium (Rep-Cal)
supplements to ensure adequate nutrition. ** Both fresh components
should be fed in the evening with uneaten portions removed in the
morning.
- Apples
- Pears

- Watermelons
- Honeydew
- Cantaloupe
- Carrots
- Kiwi

- A
staple food available all day, everyday to make sure that adequate food

the fresh foods first and will nibble at the staple food throughout the
day and night.
