Has/does anyone here owned sugar gliders? I had a couple questions about their diet...
Could someone here inform me about the best way to feed a sugar glider naturally? What ratios of raw meats, veggies, fruits, bugs, etc. There is a lot of varying information out on the Internet...
Thanks!

Boiled chicken will be your best friend! Their natural diet consists of fruits, nectar, sap and bugs. If you want to closely replicate that, your best bet is to get a variety of fruits and veggies with a higher Calcium to Phosphorous ratio, however you want the OVERALL Ca:P ratio to be about 2:1 so there is room for variety. Bugs are a must, however, they can be high in fat content so you'll want to be sure to use them sparingly. Bugs should be the ONLY thing fed raw. Unfortunately sugar gliders don't thrive on raw meats. Hope this helps.
