SGS 2 Diet

Ingredients for One-Pound (450g) Batch:

• 450g fruit and vegetables (recipes available on the Sugar Gliders UK Facebook page)
• 2 teaspoons High Protein Supplement
• 1 teaspoon bee pollen
• 1/4 teaspoon acacia gum
• 1 tablespoon brown linseed (soaked in 3–4 tablespoons boiling water) OR ground linseed (does not require soaking)
• 1 heaped tablespoon oatmeal
• 1 probiotic tablet (crushed) OR 1 tablespoon natural probiotic yogurt
• 1/2 teaspoon spirulina
• 1 peeled hard-boiled egg (optional; can be substituted with another protein source)
• 1/2 teaspoon calcium powder (add to one batch only; label clearly)
• Gliderade: Offer in a separate bowl 2–3 times a week (e.g., Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday)

• Serve 1 tablespoon of mush per glider daily.
• Offer Gliderade in a separate bowl 2–3 times a week.

• Soak the linseed in boiling water to allow the oils to be released. If you are using ground linseed, simply add to the mush.
• Wash and prepare the fruit and veg. If we eat it peeled, then peel it for the gliders.
• If using a probiotic tablet, crush 1 between two spoons and put into food processor.
• Start mushing the "hard" items first like butternut squash, sweet potato, carrot, etc.
• Add water to the mush to help the food processor and because gliders are sap suckers.
• Add the softer items, linseed (seeds and water), oatmeal, supplements, egg and yogurt (if not using a probiotic tablet).
• Blend so that everything is mixed well and the fruit/veg is small enough to stop the gliders picking out their favourite bits.
• Spoon into silicon ice cube trays (1 tablespoon) and freeze, making sure you know which one has calcium and which one doesn't.

This diet does NOT use the shared salad mixes.
