I was thinking, I have heard alot of funny and wrong information on sugar glider diet going around from various pet shops and suppliers. I’d like to do a survey. I hope my readers here would join in. Here is what you do:
1. Go to a pet shop that sells sugar gliders.
2. Ask them what to feed a sugar glider.
3. Ask them why feed that particular food.
I’m talking about silly wrong bad answers for this survey. Once you have gotten an answer, come here and post it by posting a comment. Why I wanna do this? Recently I got to know that some petshops are going the extra mile by saying sugar gliders can only eat and survive on apples and another being sugar gliders eat nuts and seeds. Do join and share your findings.

Pet Shop A
Apples – because that’s what they eat.
Pet Shop B
Apples most of the time. Sometimes can give them crickets, silkworms because they like to eat insects. That’s their complete diet.
Pet Shop X
Cat Food
Pet Shop Y
Apples and Sugar Glider Biscuits
Oops! Forgot to add why..
Pet Shop X – Because cat food contains the nutrient sugar glider needs.
Pet Shop Y – Because they love apples and the biscuits are specially made for them.
Pet Shop A = “Apples, and (sunflower) seeds”.
Pet Shop B = Apples, fruits and (meal) worms”.
