: What does a sugar thing eat?

A sugar glider needs a diet with a ratio of 75% fruits and veggies and 25% protein. The protein can come in a source such as crickets, meal worms, pinky mice, or the high protein content of the cereal in a leadbetters mix. They must have added calcium and vitamin E with this diet. You can supplement the calcium with Repcal or crushed egg shell. You can also purchase a sugar glider food that is nutritionally balanced from BPP, their web site address is http://www.brisky.com they have the sugar glider accu-feed and you do not need to supplement it.
