These recipes are all prepared using a blender on high speed and frozen in ice cube trays to provide a 2 teaspoon (0.67 TBS) serving per glider. Two TBS will feed 3 gliders.  The amounts of Calcium, Phosphorus, Protein, Sugar and Iron for a 2 tsp portion are listed for each diet to enable glider parents to compare each diet. 

All GliderKids Staples are fed with 1 TBS Fruits and 1 TBS Vegetables per glider each night.  This may be presented as either single fruits and vegetables or an equivalent portion of a mixture of several.  Use the GliderKids Nutrition Calculator to see the results of your fruit and vegetable choices with your preferred staple mix.
These recipes have been developed for personal use by Candace Otte. Please do your own research on glider diets before choosing any recipe for your gliders.  There are no published daily nutrient requirements for sugar gliders.

There is NO FORMAL APPROVAL PROCESS for sugar glider diets.
