Question
My sugar glider "Pinky" is pregnant and its my first time as a mom and also owning a sugar glider. I want to know what kind of diet I should start giving her if any.  I give her the BLM diet along with her veggies and fruits.  Is this enough or should I give her more things?

Answer
Congratulations!  Having a joey is very exciting.  BML is excellent.  I suggest you give her some extra protein while she is expecting, and also while she nurses the babies.  You may give chicken, eggs, yogurt, or any other plain meats and protein sources.

Does your glider have a companion?  If not, you will want to help her out while the joeys are young.  Normally her companion will babysit while she gets out to eat, exercise, etc.  Let me know if you need information about this.  Have fun!

Good luck!
