Re: Sugar Glider vitamin/calcium supplement
I don't use a suppliment. I keep a bowl of Glider Chow in their enclosure that is always full. I mix strawberry/blueberry yogurt, honey and either kale or charr into a blender with a litte bit of water and pour it into icecube trays. they love the icecube tray food...the yogurt gives plenty of calcium and vitamins, they try their best to pick out the green leafy vegitables, but they injest some and the honey, well, they obviously like that. That is their standard fare...at least 3 times a week, i'll give them live mealworms....fed by hand and every once in a while, i'll throw in something different to see if they like it...they love corn on the cob and apples, they'll eat some small cucumbers and get a kick out of shelling their own peanuts.
I started with 2 and am up to 7 now...they are all very healthy and happy.
I made a jungle gym for them that keeps them active...a 6' and a 4' 4x4 covered in indoor/outdoor carpeting...they jump from the cage to me to the 4x4's and back...they are so much fun :-)

Thank you for the reply.
My glider loves all fruits expect kiwi.
I thought corn would be bad because it was high in phosphorus?
And I read a bunch of places that peanuts are bad, just a few almonds now and then.
I got my guy for free, but turns out it'll cost $350 to get him fixed!
My ultimate goal is an Albino Clown Pied.

Re: Sugar Glider vitamin/calcium supplement
A cob of corn or a few peanuts in a shell are treats that they get fairly rarely...the cube food and chow are daily, the meal worms a couple times a week as a treat. I noticed they didn't like kiwi either...not too fussy on blueberries or raspberries, but strawberries are ok. They even ate a little bit of cucumber. Getting males fixed is cheaper than the females. I started with 2 and now have 7...may separate the boys and the girls soon...love them all and having more is more fun...just not gonna let it get past 10.
