Dietary suggestions for a newbie? - 07/18/19 03:25 AM
It really is true that there's a forum for everything; I love it.
anyway
I rescued a lil baby (Meeko) from a home that didn't really have the time and energy to put into him earlier this year. Since them I've been feeding him what the previous owner recommended: ExoticNutrition brand pellet food, a super worm (every other night,) Gliderade, and about 2 or 3 varying fruits and veggies every night along with dabs of honey for treats. He generally tends to ignore the pellet food entirely, however. After seeing what other folks gliders look like, I've noticed that my Meeko is a little bit of a chunker (just a lil bit.) He doesn't seem to be lethargic and certainly has no shortage of energy for running and climbing but I just wanna make sure I'm not making him fat and that being a tiny tubby isn't a severe health issue for him. Along with, I'm not exactly entirely sure what his diet is supposed to look like, I've sortof just been going off of instinct and google searches about what they can or cannot eat. I would love suggestions for a good balanced diet to feed to my Meeko that might also hopefully be somewhat low budget.
TLDR; What are some good fruits/veggies etc. to consistently feed a sugar glider who may be getting fat?
