: What do you feed a 4 week old sugarglider?
: doesn't seem to be doing very well on regular diet.

Shelley,
There is a lot of good information on the net about what to feed gliders, so be sure to check out the links here, or look up "sugar glider" on Yahoo. I don't know where you live, but around here they sell "Nutri-Glider," which was formulated by a vet just for gliders. You mix it with custard style yogurt and Gatorade. It is supposed to meet all the nutritional requirements for gliders. I always give my glider that, plus some different kinds of cut up fruit like mango chunks, quartered grapes, tomatoes, etc. Also, Eos likes baby food a lot - especially sweet potato, plum, and applesauce. I peel and chop things for her and give her the baby food because her teeth are not fully formed yet. Hopefully, someone else can give you more advice, cause I'm pretty new at this. If you can't find NutriGlider where you are, you can order it from Outback Pets on the web at http://www.flash.net/~pets/news.aspl. Hope this helps - good luck!
Tiffany
