For example: These fruits are good every day, these fruits are good once a week, these fruits should only be used as treats etc etc and same with veggies

Unless you are looking for a f/v to use as a small treat. What diet are they on? Dawn Be patient, and Trust your journey.... Grace Ruby Mom Fiona, Dot, Stewie and Dad Wish I could turn back time...

You can click on the blue words and it will take you to the database or more info on that topic. I was browsing around looking for the approved f/v list, still looking.

Please note, some of the diets such as BML have specific vegetables and fruits to feed with the diet plan. So please be sure to stick with it. If you want to do your own you can find a chart for vegetables and fruits here Just be aware, there is more than just the ca:p you need to be aware of...

Amanda, Peggy has given you a very complete list in her post right above yours. Just click on the links she has given. Apples can be given with skin on. Doesn't matter. Veggies can be given either frozen or thawed. Cucumber - skin off or on, doesn't matter. Oranges - I always removed the seeds.

I have not heard this about bananas before. Some gliders like them, some do not. None of mine did. Your Sugar Glider Resource Center Sugar Glider Help

Other than most don't like them unless they are either freeze dried or dehydrated. Peggy Critter Love Critter Love� Diet Center If you want to know what a person is like, watch how he treats others.

There is usually no in between with bananas and gliders. They either love them or hate them. Glad your bunch loves them, Hutch. Bananas are full of good stuff, but probably should not be fed on a regular basis for gliders (Bananas 0.3:1 Ca:P Ratio) Your Sugar Glider Resource Center Sugar Glider Help

It one of the 'special treats' I cycle through to keep them spoiled, kind-of like the occasional corn-on-the-cob. - Hutch Morgana (11/15) Arthur (11/15-3/24) Merlin (11/15-9/23) Gwynevere (11/15-4/22) The epic saga begins here!

It is not an everyday thing, but whenever I buy an avocado for myself, I always give them a few diced up pieces. They make very happy noises and gobble them up!
