I have just bought a sugar glider (female) a month ago.. She is active in night and being piggy at day..
The seller told me to give 1/8 piece of apple and the sugar glider pallet everyday should be enough for her daily intake and mention that those supplement is just for extra treat for her.
My sugar glider pelletSo, I checked on the web there are some supplement can be provided such as Alcacia gum( i had bought for her) which is one of the imp supplement for them.
However, after read this thread, I wonder what is the daily appropriate food intake for a sugar glider?
I don't understand the HPW diet.. can anyone explain?
Then, how do i make the food for them? Can anyone explain the exact ingredients needed?
Besides, other than food.. the barking.. she bark during the midnight.. i checked the food still got.. water got.. everything look fine.. but she barking once i sleep back..

when i go see her, she stop bark. i search thru online can find out the barking can be meaning hungry or calling friend. I wonder is she calling me to play with her??
The following is the SG sound information i found. Just for share..
Sugar Glider SoundThanks you..

I am not an expert on sugar gliders but i can share a bit of info with you based on my experience
Yes, they are many supplements in the market i.e gliderade, glider booster, acacia gum etc
All these are for our lovely tiny friends.
Besides giving your glider apples you can also feed her with various fruits and vegetables however you will need to ensure that the phosphorous level is not high. Below is the link of the safe fruits and vegetables that you can give your glider :-

When giving HPW your glider is ensure that it will get all the necesssary nutrients needed for its daily life. There are many types of complete food for the gliders such CDF or Glider Slurp. However you will need to rotate the food so that your glider will not be bored by eating the same food everyday.
My glider's menu is glider slurp in the evening with one bowl of mix fruit and vege. Morning monkey biscuits, bugsy fruity treats or bugsy chicken protein. For their treats I will give them Yoghurt drops, honey sticks, meal worms etc. I love to spoil my gliders
If you are already giving a complete diet to your glider then you will not need all that supplements as if you give them too many supplements it might have the reverse side effects instead.
Here is another link on diet for your sugar glider.
