I had purchased a sugar glider food for my "kids", too. My Bicho that disappeared didn't care for it at all, not even the first time. (Hey! Maybe that's why he disappeared. :-) )

Now, with Bonita, Loco, and Charla, I just put it in their cage each day as a supplement food (in a dish with sunflower seeds, raisins, etc.)

Each night I feed them a different variety of things (i.e. thawed out frozen mixed veges; fresh apples, pears, mangos, watermelon, grapes, carrots, celery, bell pepper, raw sweet potato, cooked white potato; Leadbeaters. I make sure that I always sprinkle the supplement vitamins (Glider Booster and Rep-Cal) on their food regularly, as directed.

Because of noticing a little bit of constipation this week, now I also will be giving them some nectar regularly, a couple of times a week.

I hope this helps...
: I am needing some advice on the subject of Brisky's alone or with other foods. I feel a little guilty about giving just Brisky's for a meal. I feel it would get quite boring for my gliders to only eat Brisky's.
: I know that it is nutritionally sound but worry that they may not get the right nutrients because of them getting tired of the same old food everyday.
: The first time I put it in their cage they really went for it, but now I have it in there everyday and they don't hardly touch it at all. I don't want to over do it with a lot of other foods and Brisky's too, so I guess what I am asking is what else should I be feeding with Brisky's to ensure the right amount of vitamin C,D and whatever else is required.
: Right now they get Brisky's, fruit, nuts, yogurt,sepacal,veggies,mealworms,leadbetter's mix.
: This is not the menu nightly, but they do get this all probably in a weeks time.
: Thanks for any help with this, I don't want them to get a vitamin deficiency of any kind.
: Thanks for any help,
