ANSWER: Hello Z,

I don't know what the vitamin is that you bought.  If it is specifically for Sugar Gliders, then I'm sure it is fine.  Does it have calcium?  Calcium is extremely important to avoid hind-end paralysis. I think Petsmart has both Calcium and Vionate.  You can also get vitamins and other glider items at sugar-gliders.com.  

Male Sugar Gliders are excellent papas!  They help care for the joeys so that mom can eat, exercise, and take a break from mothering.  The joeys ride around on papa's back, too.  It is really cute to see.

Please check out these websites for good information about gliders:  sugar-gliders.com, glideruniversity.org, or others.

Good luck, keep in touch,

Betty

Answer
Z,

I have three families of gliders and do adopt out the babies.  They can't stay with the family when they mature.

Your vitamins plus Gliderade are probably okay for vitamins, but you do need to make sure they are getting calcium.  Check out the BML recipe and give them some of those ingredients, too.
