: I have a 6 month old sugar glider and it looks like he is very
: picky. He only loves grapes, eats apples if there is nothing
: else and the rest he doesn't want at all. I tried sweet potatoe
: bananas, frozen vegetables mix (defrosted), mango, oranges,
: pears, .... Does anyone has an idea what fruits they love ?? I
: want to give him some variety but it looks tough to me.
: Please email me with some ideas.

: Another thing. Lately he starts to get up real late (1am). How
: can I make him to get up a little earlier ???
: Let me know
: Ramona & Snuggles :)

Hi, as for the food I would suggest coating veggies with some baby food( sweet potato, chicken soup). Then gradually add less and less. This worked for my glider.

The sleeping late, I got some advice to put your glider in a dark room and use a light and a timer. You can fool your glider into thinking it is night and day. I also did this by putting a heavey blanket over my window. It has not worked for me yet, but thats because my light was to inconsistant for some reason. Tell me how it works.
