No, I don't think they will die from it, but I wouldn't give them anymore of those sticks if they have onion and garlic in them. Just keep an eye on them, but they should be fine.

I don't think they will die Jill...if at any point they start acting strange then then do take them to the vet. Onions and garlic is toxic to gliders..but it all depends on how much got into their system. You don't know exactly how much of those ingredients are in the sticks..and how much of that got in their systems. I definitly wouldn't ever feed them that again...it can definitly be toxic if it builds up in their system. These items are hard to digest and may cause them to get stomache aches. if you see any signs of illness please do take them to the vet.

It is unlikely that your gliders will die from the food, but they may become ill. You must watch them closely for any signs of illness such as diarrhea, stomach ache, etc. Dont let them eat this ever again to be safe, and of course nothing else with garlic or onions. If you are very worried, take them to a vet. And if they show any signs of illness then take them to a vet immedietly. Hope your gliders are doing okay.

Well they are both have a good appetite right now. They are both eating and seem fine, It has been 2 hours or so now. How long do I need to watch them? Should I stay up or what?

Thanks to everyone who posted answers for me. My gliders did fine and are doing fine and all of that stuff was thrown out immediately. Thanks for all your help.
