So D'argo, once named Buddy, came to live with my husband and I last week. He was in a small bird cage - 18"x18"x22" and really only came out of his pouch to eat. I started calling him my 'sugar poucher' because he seemed like he barely knew how to jump, let alone glide!

He's doing much better now and is starting to become pretty hyper. We've been trying a variety of foods with him, and so far he likes:

rehydrated freeze-dried strawberries
green beans
meal worms
turkey baby food
scrambled eggs
boiled chicken
papaya
plums
yellow squash
bell peppers
Zoo Keepers Secret

He doesn't seem to like:

brocolli
carrots
rehydrated freeze-dried bananas
sweet potato baby food

I'm basically doing a 50% protein 25% fruit 25% veggie diet. I'm going offer Zoo Keepers Secret at all times in small amounts. I'm also going to provide nectar.
