At The Pet Glider, we have worked to create a complete nutrition system that produces healthy, happy sugar gliders. The system combines a stimulating presentation of the worldwide accepted protein/fruit/vegetable diet with The Pet Glider Complete Multivitamin. This well-balanced system, together with lots of care and attention to allowing the gliders freedom of movement, has been implemented and used with over 1000 healthy sugar gliders, as well as rehabilitated gliders with excellent outcomes. To order The Pet Glider Complete, visit our Sugar Glider Shop!
