Best Answer

They eat insects, nectar, pollen, and fruit. There isn't one specific "glider food" Everyone makes or buys their diet based on their preferences, and nutritional needs of the glider. If you want your glider to have the best diet available, as close to their natural diet as possible you will have to make your own food. It starts with a (usually) blended diet (recipes readily available on the net) that includes vitamins (calcium and phosphorus)and many different nutrients. This can be frozen and made a month in advance. That would have to be supplemented with a variety of fresh fruits and veggies, and occasionally gut loaded insects. Gliders also enjoy eucalyptus, and acacia tree branches. If it's fresh, they may well chew the bark, like they do in the wild.
