They really need to be eating a diet of 35%protien and 65% fruit and veggie. Have you tried Leadbeaters diet? It is a balanced proven diet, and you can add fruit/veggies and insects. To get the recipe go to Bourbon's page (the link is on the sugarglider.com links page) and look under diets for Bourbons modified leadbeaters. Hope that helps! Good luck....i know about picky eaters, Kazoo is picky about fruits and veggies. Which fruits and veggies do you feed? TaraRae

: I'm a little concerned about my gliders. This is a problem I've had ever since I've owned them, but for some reason I didn't think to ask. Anyway, I can't really get them to eat anything with protein in it. Both of my gliders are way picky about what they want and it is usually only their fruit. I have been giving them a cherry desert baby food that contains egg yolks in it and they love that, but I don't really believe it is enough. Does anybody have any suggestions concerning some alternate ideas on how to get them their needed protein?
