Sugar Glider Sugar Bear Nutrition 5
You will come across a lot of advice from so called experts especially on the internet that homemade diets and concoctions are the best for your sugar glider sugar bear. The problem is, though they look attractive on paper, in practice, it takes up an awfully long time to prepare and are extremely complicated in nature. Worse, the ingredients are difficult to find and quite expensive, which makes them quite problematic in nature. Most pet owners tend to simplify this problem by using the ingredients that are available, which gives rise to malnutrition in the pet, the most common problem that Vets encounter.
There are readymade pellets like “Glide-R-Chow™” by Vet’s Pride and “NutriMax™” by Pocket Pets organization that are extremely healthy, nutritious, cheap at $5/month and easy to use. This should form 75% of core nutritional requirement, with the remaining 25% coming in the form of fresh fruits and vegetables (size of about 1/8th apple slice or equivalent). You should remember that sugar glider sugar bears would love to eat anything sweet and insects but in excess this is very unhealthy for your pet.
As a supplement, you should use a calcium based multivitamin that is essential to avoid some serious illness, which are complementary to the pellet food that you use. To feed your pet, make sure there are at least 2 ounces at least in the cage at all times, while dumping away the crumbs each day and refilling the bowl. The fruits and vegetables should be given at night without slicing them into smaller pieces and sprinkling with the multivitamin every other night. Finally, you will require a dining room, which is a simple plastic box with holes at either ends which ensures that the food is not thrown away and wasted as your pet plays around in the cage.
