This it TRUE!
Both the cat food and the parot seeds can cause big problems when fed on a regular basis. Please look at the posts below about the "leadbeaters mix". It's very important you switch your glider's diet. Also offer your glider some apple juice or fruit nectar. Add carrot and apple to the diet also.

: : I need help!! Lately, my sugarglider hasn't been eating his cat food for protein, his parrot seeds, n the orange i gave him last night... I don't know what's wrong w/ him... He looks pretty weak, because he hasn't eaten much! Please help me!!!!!

: A recent university study has determined that feeding cat food to a glider can lead to intestinal blockages, this would cause one not to want to eat. Is your glider having regular stools? Seeds such as in bird feeds can also create problems with constipation. Since you say he is off his feed and is weak he may be hypoglycemic. Offer him some honey or just rub it on his gums. Offer him fruits with lots of liquids in them such as grapes and melons. Get him to a vet and have him checked ASAP.
