I am afraid I am not feeding my suggie right. I feed him one ice cube of P. diet which has fruits and veggies in it.

are their other entrees other than the one cube a night I should feed him? he also gets meal worms but they are the frozen dried worms. is that ok?

I want to get him on a strict weekly menu but not sure how I should do it to keep him healthy


any idea or suggestions.?

You feed the Pet Glider Diet or another diet? If you feed PGD, you should be alternating between chicken and egg every other night, and giving 20 mealworms every other night as well. Freeze dried is ok, but live is better, as they will get more fat from the freeze dried and it is better enrichment for them also (there isn't much to the freeze dried, they are really just shells). Add the vitamin supplement each night and you are good. thumb

You technically do not NEED to feed anything else other than the diet and mealies... but many glider owners like to mix it up a bit with different fruits, veggies, and treats such as yogurt. Just make sure that you feed treats sparingly, but I bet your glider would love a licky treat or two!

Here are some good threads discussing the The Pet Glider (aka Priscilla's Diet):

Wanna hear about Pricilla's Diet
Wanna Hear about Priscillas diet II

It includes the daily mix with the vitamin/mineral supplement sprinkled on top; a daily staple of monkey biscuits or sugar glider cereal; and on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday, 20 mealies per glider. You can also offer a half/half mix of pure apple juice and purified water 3-4 times a week.
