Feeding Babies:

Homemade glider formula - equal parts of:

First Born puppy milk (don't use kitten milk; it's higher in lactose)
Gerber chicken with apple baby food
vanilla yogurt (with live cultures, NOT nonfat - they need some fat right now!)
Leadbeater's Mix (without eggshells so it will go through the dropper better)
Gerber rice with banana baby cereal, moistened with diluted apple juice.


After Weaning:

applesauce
rice with bananas (or other flavors) baby cereal
turkey with sweet potatoes baby food
chicken with apples baby food
baby food fruits and sweet vegetables (corn, sweet potatoes, carrots)
different fruit flavors of yogurt
monkey biscuits soaked in different flavors of fruit juice/nectar
Leadbeater's Mix

The 4 most important things to remember in choosing a diet:

75 % fruit & vegtables - 25% protein
Water
Calcium!
Limit fat - lactose intolerance

EXTRAS:
Scrambled or boiled eggs, yogurt, baby food
Crickets dusted w/ calcium, meal worms, small lizards & spiders, pinkies (same as our Geckos)

Some of their favorite fruits include:
water melon, cantaloupe, grapes and mangos - they are also quite fond of apples and oranges.

Plus..... I found a website that comes highly recommended from other Sugar Glider Owners.
