: Mine love corn too. But it is my unserstanding that corn contains levels of phosphorous which will inhibit a sugarglider from getting the proper absorbtion and use of calcium in the remainder of its diet, and so it has been recommended that corn intake be pretty limited.

As long as you are providing a vitamin and mineral supplement somewhere in your gliders diet (like ledbetter, brisky's accu-feed, gliderade or glider-booster) you probably dont need to worry to much if he refuses to eat veggies.

If you REALLY want him to eat veggies, you could do like Jo said, just restrict your gliders menu for the evening to veggies and he'll have no choice but to eat 'em
