Not sure we can get Austrailian Acacia Gum here. As you found, most comes from India or Africa. How knows if it's even produced in Oz. FWIW, my gliders didn't really care for it. I could sprinkel it on their food and they would eat it, but that's not really adding anything to the diet.

Haven't heard back from Exotic Nutrition about this. Does anyone else have any idea? I have found a very high quality, organic Acacia Gum, but I would have to buy 500lbs.! I don't have that many Gliders - YET!

Wow, Marz! That's the most information on acacia I've seen that didn't require a degree in botany to understand. Thanks! I had a feeling the acacia gum everyone is talking about is not from any of the species of acacia gliders will or should eat. All I know is that the wrong kind could be toxic. A wild glider would know the difference, but I doubt any of mine would. I sure don't, so I just don't use it. I'd love to visit Australia, someday!

Great info! Thank you! I wouldn't feel bad about trying food grade Acacia Gum, as we have been injesting it without realizing it our whole lives, but would prefer to find some from Australia. And really don't want anything from China.

I'm still looking for Australian Acacia Gum, if anyone sees any.

I purchased some from my local Pet Warehouse here in NC. It says it's "pure" ACACIA GUM and it's from "Exotic Nutrition." The web site is www.exoticnutrition.comI paid $4.39 for 30 grams.

I checked with them. Their's comes from East Africa, and is food grade Acacia.
I'm sure it's fine. I will probably end up buying their's too.
