See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Here is a list of foods I have found to be popular with gliders and good for them, too: pineapple, peaches, apples, pears, strawberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, melons, grapes, papaya, apricots, oranges, corn, sweet potatoes, squash, fruit juices, blueberries, dried fruit, fruit jams, assorted baby foods, low-fat deli turkey and ham, peanuts, raisins, carrots, mealworms, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried peas, almonds. Here is a diet of the Squirrel glider used by Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia. Thanks goes out here to Ruth Grove. The diet for the Sugar glider is the same except having smaller quantities. Half of each will probably do Ok. check and see. Apple 3g Banana/Corn 3g Dog Kibble 1.5g Fly pupae 1 teaspoon Grapes/Kiwi fruit 3g Hard Boiled Egg 10g Leadbeaters Mix 2 teaspoons (details of mix below) Orange (incl. skin) 4g Pear 2g Rockmelon/Paw Paw 2g Sweet potato 3g Day Old chick Wednesdays. Larger insects when available eg. mealworms. Leadbeaters Mix Warm Water 450ml Honey 450ml Shelled boiled eggs 3 High-Protein baby cerial 75g Sustage (Voitamin supplement) 3 teaspoons Method Add warm water to container, slowly add the honey and mix in.
