I understand your concern. I really do. My problems is not what I'm feeding them it is what they wont eat. I studied up on suger gliders for several months before I got mine and not just off the internet. I'm having difficulties getting them to eat the things that they NEED, it's not an issue of not knowing what to give them, I'm just trying to figure out a better way to sort of "trick" them into eating things I can't normally get them to eat. I bought them from a horrible, horrible, place that only fed them apples everyday and sometimes not even that. I could not stand to let them stay there which is why I bought them and not some others from a breeder. I've owned them for quite some time now and they are so much healthier than when I first bought them. I don't mean any offense in what I am saying but please trust me when I say I know what diet they need and what kind of things can be potentially harmful for them. The only thing I was asking was for help with getting them to eat things that they dont't want to. What I'm saying is please don't assume that I don't know anything and lecture me,I didn't come here for that. What I want is YOUR help on this one point. They DO get protein in their diet, I'm just struggling with THEIR PICKY EATING. I'm sorry if you think I don't take care of them, but I know that I do. They are perfectly normal, healthy, HYPER, little guys. I wish you could believe me.
