My Glider won't eat her fruits or veggies PLEASE HELP!!!

[Tigerlily84]

Can someone please help me??? Starr won't eat her fruits or veggies that I give her. When I first brought her home she ate everything that I put in her dish, but now all she'll eat is the BML. Is there anything that I can do??? I've already tried mixing them in with the BML but that doesn't work either. PLEASE HELP????

Thanks,
Tarah

I'd also like to post some pictures of her but I don't know how, and at the bottom of my screen it says that I'm not allowed to post attachments. Why is this??? Can someone please help me with this too???

Thanks,
Tarah

Are you including a variety? The same thing every day gets old quick. Be sure to alter her fruits and veggies every once in awhile. Ex: Grapes one day, apples the next day. My suggies clean their plates when I follow a pattern like that. Ocassionally, something new is cool. :D Also, I know this sounds weird, but cut back on the BML just a tad. It shouldn't dominate her diet, but it defeinetly should be included. She's just getting full on the BML, and leaving behind the fruits and veggies. My suggies like apples, grapes, mangos, cantalope (sp)... Just don't give her anything in mass quantites. Remember, suggies don't need that much to be filled up. ;)

I've tried that too, and it still doesn't work, I even tried to not give her the BML at all but she wouldn't eat them still so I was forced to give her the BML. I didn't want her to starve.

Thanks for trying to help though,

I had this problem when i first got my Gliders , mine was a little bit of a diffrent situation though seeing as they were on a seed diet (bad owners :angry:) anyways i put applesause and honey on there fruit and veggies, at first they only licked it off but after a while they started eating it. Now they will eat anything i put in there food dish!

Have you tried that Sugar Glider Nectar powder yet??? Sometimes if I give my gliders a veggie or fruit that I know they don't really care for I sprinkle that on top of it and they will eat anything that is on ;0)

I get if from that Sun Coast Gliders web site....

Good Luck..

All I can say, mix it up. Mine do the same thing and I have to change the fruit and veggies to something else for a bit. Then go back to the other and they seem ok again with it. Oh-- once I was worried my gliders were not eatting enough fruits and someone told me to cut back on the ammount of both I put in the dish, I did and saw they do eat, just not as much as I was putting in the bowl. I was giving them to much.
