Is this Sugar Glider food good?
I know that they need a variety of foods every day, but I was wondering if this food I found could replace the nectar and insectivore mixes they would be fed every day. (not the fresh foods though)

It says everything about it in the description, but I haven't really heard anything about this product before, so I just want to make sure.
i dont think you read what i typed, i said would this be good to replace the NECTAR AND INSECTIVORE MIXTURES and go along with fresh foods they need.
you didnt answer my question. and yes i know it is sugar glider food, obviously. i asked if it was good and i would never ONLY feed them that, i asked if it could replace the other mixtures since it says it has them in it.

thats a perfectly fine substitue. they call it glider kibble and its reccommended as a staple food which is a food that is to be left in your gliders cage at all times only to be taken out evey couple of days to be refreshed (even if they didnt finish it)
just in case:
okay i have 2 sugar gliders and have gotten advice from several experienced glider owners. the previous owner is talking about bml which is okay but only for protein.
a sugar gliders diet should be broken in to 3 sections
-veggies
-fruit
-protein
in all 3 sections the amount of food ou give your glider should be the size of 3 grapes per glider
don't give your gliders strawberries(the seeds are bad for them) and you can only give them citrus(i.e. orange, lemon,lime) once every month and a half. corn once a month.
fruits and vegetables can be any fruit and vegetable and you might want to mix up everyery now and then or give two fruits and two vegetables in each container
protein would be the bml (which you can look up in google), vienna sausage( which can be found in the canned meat isle of you grocery store), boiled egg and boiled chicken( with no additives)
you should also have a staple food in your gliders cage. staple food examples would be special kay cerial, raisins, glider kibble or a mixture of the 3

Yes that is sugar glider food but I wouldn't recommend giving that to them. I used to have 5 sugar gliders and the best thing that you can give to them is a special mixture that you make at home. Here is a website that gives you the recipe and tells you what fruits and veggies they can and can't have. Sugar glider diet is very important and there is really nothing you can buy to make sure that they get all the vitamins they need.
