Hi,
I am having so much trouble getting my sugar glider to eat. I know that they are picky eaters but this is really bad. Luvkily she loves the leadbeaters and eats almost a whole teaspoon a day but that's all I can get her to eat. She also likes the Pretty Pets suagr glider food but hardly eats it. Just like one or two peices a day and they are very small.
Here's a list of what I've tried...
apples, carrots, chicken, mealworms, bananas, peaches, mango, kiwi, cantelope(she eats this a little but only if I hand it to her and keep handing it to her, eventually she won't even take it from me anymore, and this is just one peice), grapes, peas, corn, green beans, lettuce, baby food apple sauce, baby food chicken with veggies, baby food mixed veggies, baby food sweet potatoes, baby food carrots.
I've tried everything I've heard and nothing is working. She is 2 1/2 months opp and is eating on her own, at least that's what the breeder told me. I am worried that she isn't getting enough fruits and veggies and protien. She seems fine, not very playful but it's only been 2 weeks and she's still a baby too. She seems to like me, she's out with me alot and she doesn't crab when I pick her up anymore. Her just crawls in my shirt or my pocket or even just mu hand and just goes back to sleep. She can walk around fine and she has a very roomy cage. She doesn't seem sad at all. I'm not sure what's going on here. I just don't wany her to get sick so if anyone has advice please help. Thank you so much for reading the long post and I really appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Thanks again, April
