The 'Free Choice' Glide-R-Chow Feeding Method Now, obviously some people have a stronger sense of smell than others, so if you’re particularly sensitive you may notice them more than most people. Over the last 15 years, we’ve found that Sugar gliders who are PRIMARILY fed Glide-R-Chow ™ & fruits & vegetables as their two MAIN foods (and then OCCASIONALLY given a WIDE range of TREATS like a piece of cooked meat, boiled eggs, or other ’human’ foods that they love) will have very little odor if at all – and instead have a very pleasant smell that a lot of our customers say smells like a “puppy”. It is specifically designed for Sugar gliders… it gives them ALL the protein they’ll ever need… and Sugar gliders LOVE to eat it because it has a special fruity flavor that they just go NUTS for. Over the years, we’ve tested ALL kinds of different protein-based foods that “claim” to eliminate odors in Sugar gliders, but we’ve never found anything that works NEARLY as well a special, dry pelleted food called “Glide-R-Chow ™”. Now, fortunately, this is a VERY easy problem to fix – because as long as you just feed your Sugar gliders the right protein food, you’ll NEVER have to worry about them smelling bad.

How to Keep Your Sugar Glider from Developing an Odor

Now, it’s not anything nearly as strong as a ferret’s smell, but it is a little strong for most people’s taste. In captivity though, IF your Sugar glider’s diet contains a high percentage of live food or meat, it WILL develop a musky odor. The other 25% would be what we call “LIVE” food like insects, baby birds, bird eggs, etc. In the wild, a Sugar glider’s diet consists of roughly 75% gums, saps and nectars taken from different kinds of plants and trees. The first is protein, the second is fresh fruits and vegetables and the last thing is just a quick vitamin supplement that fills in all the gaps. Keep in mind, like we said earlier, Sugar gliders will eat almost ANYTHING you put in front of them – and ENJOY IT – but having raised tens of thousands of these happy and healthy little animals for the last 15 years, we can tell you for a FACT that there are really only THREE basic types of nutrition they need.
