In the wild, sugar gliders have a high energy diet that has a fairly high level of protein. In captivity, they should be offered a dry diet and a fresh diet. The fresh diet should be fed in the late afternoon or evening. Pick up uneaten food the next morning.
Sugar gliders relish nearly all fruits and some vegetables.
You may find that your pet sugar gliders develop distinct likes and dislikes for fruit. In general, however, they do not like bananas, and citrus fruits often encourage diarrhea. To the fruits and vegetables, add a small amount of hard-boiled egg. Keep the diet balanced, and give your pets variety. For example, low-fat yogurt and cottage cheese are welcome changes one or two times a week.
