There are many commercial diet supplements available.

Happy Glider Food by Pet-Pro is a complete nutritional food source essential for growth, maintenance, and reproduction.

The list of fruits is extensive and includes, apple, watermelon, cantaloupe, date, fig, grapes, kiwi, mango, melons, papaya, peach, pear, persimmon,  plum , and all berries to name a few.  Frozen fruits are acceptable.   The sweeteners added to canned fruits will not be good for the health of your pet. 

Tomatoes, pineapple, oranges,  lemons, limes, tangerines, clementines, and grapefruits will only upset their tummies. Why offer your glider something that will make them ill when there is such a variety of fruits available to choose from.  Dried fruits used as treats are OK to give to your glider, just don't over do it as they are highly concentrated sugars.

Never offer onion , garlic, scallions, leeks, chives, or anything that has been seasoned with them.  This includes baby foods and other prepared items.  This can cause anemia.  Coffee, tea, chocolate and soda pop is toxic to Sugar Gliders.

It is extremely important to make sure your glider has an ample amount of fresh water at all times.  They can dehydrate very quickly.

The occasional canned fruit (low or no sugar added) will not be a major problem as a treat.  Most veggies are ok for your glider. They especially like sweet potato, *corn, carrots, cucumbers, etc. Experiment on your pet for his/her likes and dislikes. *Corn does not provide a large amount of nutritional value to your Glider, but they love it on the cob or prepared from frozen.  Avocado is high in fat and contains toxins known as cardiac glycosides.  Peach, Plum, Nectarine and Cherry seeds  contain extremely potent toxins.  Apple seed are deadly to your Gliders.  Kiwi seeds will not harm your pet.  

Never offer RAW meats or eggs.

Gliders are said to be lactose intolerant, but the correct term is lactase deficiency.   No milk, cheese, butter or ice cream should be given to them.
However, yogurt is a cultured product and will NOT HARM your glider.
Do not offer it as a dinner item, but only as a treat.

A healthy glider diet consists of about 75% protein, and 25% fruits and vegetables and about a 2:1 overall calcium to phosphorous ratio.  (See charts below)

Many people are still feeding Sugar Gliders cat food in spite of research indicating cat food may cause intestinal blockage or renal (kidney) failure. Cats are strictly carnivores and Sugar Gliders are *insectivore/**omnivores. *insects make up a large portion of their diet. **they eat a variety of foods.

If you are feeding your Sugar Glider cat food, please stop and feed them food that is beneficial to them.

As long as Sugar Gliders are given a proper diet and care, they are extremely resilient and healthy.
