Safe food for Sugar Glider
since i've 1 pair of Sugar Glider , nak share a lil bit pasal Sugar Glider . Sugar Glider ni dia sangat cerewet pada makanan harian dia , kalau kau kasi dia apple hari hari pun tak boleh jugak , cuba aku sumbat kau dengan nasi kosong je hari hari . Lalu nak makan ? takkan . so kena concern dengan makan dia . kata pun Sugar Glider , takkan nak kasi makanan yg masin pahit and masam pulak .
Sesekali kena lah tukar makanan dia . Biar dia suka makan dan tak bosan dengan makanan dia , ni aku nak list pasal makanan yang selamat buat dia . tp aku creditkan dekat Sugar Glider Malaysia . Aku belajar jaga Sugar Glider semua dari group nii :)
Please read carefully the thing that i put in the bracket...
- Apples
- Apricots
- Avocado (Feed sparingly, particularly useful for weight gain. This fruit is extremely high in fat.-not recommended to feed regularly)
- Bananas (high in iron & phosphorus)
- Bell peppers (sweet)
- Blueberries (Small amounts once or twice a week - too much can give them the runs.)
- Broccoli
- Brussel sprouts
- Cantaloupe
- Carrots
- Cherries
- Chicken (Never raw. Boil until fully cooked, no seasonings. Use organic, if possible.)
- Corn (Only feed small amounts once a week at most. Corn is high in phosphorous which can inhibit the absorption of calcium if fed in large amounts.)
- Cucumbers
- Eggs (Always boiled or scrambled. Two gliders can share one egg.)
- Honeydew
- Kiwi (Do not worry about removing seeds.)
- Mango
- Mushrooms ((white) Store-bought only! I don't want to see anyone feeding their gliders something they found in the backyard, lol.)
- Oranges (However, not safe regularly. Citric acid can give gliders the runs. Works well to clear up a constipated glider. Never give to joeys.but can give to glider who's having FLU. give them a small sip only)
- Papaya (very high in calcium.good for those who give their gliders, mealworm)
- Peaches
- Pears
- Pineapple (High in citric acid. Only feed small amounts about once a week at the most.)
- Plums
- Raspberries (Small amounts once or twice a week - too much can give them the runs.)
- Soy (Contrary to popular belief, soy is not harmful to gliders. A piece of tofu is a delicious treat. Just do not forget to also offer your glider his regular calcium and protein.)
- Spinach (A great source of calcium.)
- Squash
- Sweet Potatoes (I would recommend boiling them and mashing into a puree.)
- Watermelon (Small amounts once or twice a week - too much can give them the runs.)
- Yams
- Yogurt Plain or flavored, do not use any with artificial sweetners. Avoid "sugar free".
