Added on December 1, 2007, 7:32 amWhat should you do about a sugar glider who is a picky eater and who refuses to eat the healthy food you serve him or her?

First of all, you need to understand normal sugar glider behavior with regard to eating. You should expect to see some "leftovers" most nights. Sugar gliders typically eat part of what is offered, throw a part of what is offered around (hence the need for a "Critter Hut" or something similar to minimize your cleanup time) and ignore part of what is offered. This is normal sugar glider behavior. If you are expecting your sugar glider to lick his bowl clean like your dog does, forget it! That's not how sugar gliders eat. Additionally, sugar gliders will sometimes eat very lightly for 2 or 3 days.

Another type of normal sugar glider eating behavior is to ignore something the first few times you put it in front of them. That doesn't necessarily mean they don't like it. Multiple offers of the food over a period of days may be necessary before a glider will try it.

When dealing with a picky eater, remember that if permitted, a sugar glider will pick out its favorite foods every night and ignore the rest. In that sense, they really are like children. It is up to you to provide variety so that your glider doesn't eat the same thing every night.

If your sugar glider won't eat its fruits or vegetables, try feeding a fruit or vegetable first, after you remove all other food from the cage. Feed the rest of his food an hour or two later. If this does not work, then feed only a fruit or veggie for one or two nights. A glider usually will not starve itself to death. After one or two nights, he will probably eat the item in question.

If your sugar glider won't eat its protein, mix the food you want him to eat with something else you know he loves and can't resist. You can try mixing protein with low-sugar apple juice, applesauce, yogurt, etc. Use only enough of the treat foods to get your sugar glider to eat the food you want it to eat. Don't overdo the sugar especially. If you have a sugar glider who is refusing to eat his protein, you may have to try putting out only protein foods for a day or two, until your sugar glider is hungry enough to it it.

i got this from a website...problem solved...i think...

what do u guys think ?

It seems like your abu and suggies very manja2.. Mine is not exceptional as well, quite manja too. Even though they take it for granted sometimes, but love covers all.
Oh you want my salad recipe? Hehe..
Nothing extraordinary la..
I give them just a few selection of veges that are intended for my guinea and tort, like sawi, kangkung, carrot(they especially like this one), cucumber, spinach and the like.. i don't know whether oyster mushroom is good for them, maybe some may advice me on this.

I observe that suggies are fond of sugary food. I think veges are rather plain in flavour, so it won't appeal much to the suggies. If you were to put apples, mealworm and veges into a bowl and test them, they will most likely go for the mealworm first, then apples, and finally the vege. Do you all agree?

Therefore i will leave only the vege with them for the night, and since that's the only choice for them or starve, they will settle on for the vege.

I think, suggies have all their likes and dislikes, if yours do not like scramble eggs, you can try by just giving them the yoke and see what happens. Another method which has already been mentioned below is to mix the yoke with Gerber's applesauce or honey. Hopefully they will layan. Well, let me know what's the outcome.

This is the first time i heard this, using daun serai as a deterrent to flies, hmm.. 
If you are really really annoyed with this fly, then install mosquitoes netting to your entire house just like mine, of course that's just meant for joking..
You can use mosquito netting for your cage, but it won't be able to shield you from the very small flying insects. It can prevent the larger ones though.
Or you might want to bring them in with a carrier and let them eat in it. Place the carrier at a place that's safe from insects, maybe an enclosure with locked doors or window.
If possible don't leave the food there for too long.
I used to let my suggies eat in a small cage and membelai them while they eat as a way of bonding.

I believe your suggies will love mealworms, but i have come to know that its content of fat is high, so nowadays i am not so generous with mealworms but rather the crickets.

Well, nice effort, thanks for sharing the website, it's indeed helpful, let me know what's site is that if you will?
Have a nice weekend to all..

For those who face a hurdle before they could keep their pets will cherish theirs more..

Well,
To have the support of my family,
when i was schooling, i set apart exactly 3 hours a day for revising and study. Consistently doing it everyday. After that 3 hours, i will watch TV or play with pets etc. leisures.. and NO MORE STUDY..

My parents knew about my "3 hour a day" study plan as i told them, so they will never scold me for having leisures and playing with pets after my study hour.

Don't be discouraged by your mom ok?
Have a nice day..

Whoa, it's been such a long time since I last checked this thread out. 

My sugar glider's made himself comfortable sleeping next to my keyboard. I'm having the toughest time cutting his fingernails these days. He's a lot more naughty now that he's older! Can't sit still for even two seconds, especially when he sees the nail clipper. Smart fella.

Anyways, good to see some of the old familiar faces and to the ones I don't know, hi!

Gliders are smart. They know.... now my Kiah and Kapi never let me cut their nails properly. They would struggle and jump away when they see the nail clipper.

Sometimes parents are like that lah. I also had to say my gliders were a gift as well hahaahh.

I don't really bother about giving them to eat eggs cuz it's already in the mix and they will always clean their bowl of mix

About piggyback riding, I think your female is still young and sees your male as an adult, so she does it. Eventually she will stop when she is big enough. Nothing you can about it.

Yes, what the site has explained is true. No two gliders are alike, some can be picky, some not and some are extremely picky. It all draws down to how we tackle it. It is important not to always give in as we know they need the right balanced diet.

Try feeding them the same thing 2-3 days in a row will eventually work.

Don't be put off if they don't eat something you prepared for them. They might not have the interest that night or two but will probably finish it all up the next time you try. It's all about understanding your suggies
Hmm, I don't think oyster mushroom is something I would give them personally... Don't think it'll do them any good.

Yeah, the name sugar glider is derived from their liking of sugary and sweet things, so how can they resist it

I for one love to make sure that their food is of something sweet(except for the mealworm ofcourse...) I make sure the fruits are sweet enough, the mix is sweet enough, even the vege I love to give them is the sweet peas

And yes, I am guilty for over indulging my suggies with mealworm I just can't turn down those hungry plea faces And despite all that, they're not as fat as I want them to be Hahaha... *Kids, don't try this at home*
Which would "you" prefer to eat, bunga raya OR bunya taik ayam

How was your traveling with your suggie? She okay?

-----

Had a so-so wonderful weekend. Had gotten some time to let Iggy roam around free and this time cautiously let Luna out to(which I end up looking for her and found her near the large vase as she would not stay on the curtain or come to me like Iggy does )

Iggy is a good boy but naughty and cheeky at the same time I dunno what I'd do without him


KP

I gave my gliders a very ripe Kiwi. They love it. Also, I realize my gliders know the difference of quality oranges hahahah.... this time got hold of oranges which are not so juicy, they didn't touch 1 piece also.... so I substitute with carrots. Later gonna find some bunga raya for them hehehehe.

Iggy, he must be a darling already after neutering. He still got scent mark?

My gliders are funny. You know your cage set? Well, Kiah likes to sleep and hide in the tunnel, while Kapi hogs the sleeping pouch. But sometimes they will both cuddle in the sleeping pouch. Then at night, they annoy me by jumping on the hammock on and off.

A FUN RIDE

guys...ive read in an article somewhere i forgot the link...

they say that there is something in cricket that can actually make ur glider

sakit....the fluid inside cricket can make something lah....some penyakit...

lupa wat..issit true ?

Wahh.... now I'm tempted to visit your place hahaha.... what other pets do you have lah?
