: I'm so confused with what to feed my glider. I know they need the calcium, protein and etc. One says cat food other says no. One says this kinda food another says that kind. one says bird food another says your crazy. GRRRRRRRRRR. Could y'all point me in the right direction. My poor Abby never knows what she is goin to eat. I want to make sure I am giving her the best of the best. She is my lovey. I want to stick to one plan and then of course add variety. I hear leadbetter then I hear glideraide. Please take time to explain this to me.

All I can tell you is that I feed them an unlimited supply of Purina Kitten chow (more calcium than cat food)with a small amount of reptocal, fresh fruit daily(grapes, melons, apples, citrus mostly in that order of precendence), with sporadic mealworms, crickets, sunflower seeds with the shell on (cool to watch them eat), and complex carbs like bread or plain crackers. i've had a breeding pair of gliders for about two years on that, and one set of joeys that have grown up quite nicely. no health problems whatsoever.
