[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 301337, member: 1514"] Some sugar glider food do you? It appears you may be right smack dab in the middle of this lil guys feeding ground...lol. I think you have all this in your back yard. [B]Honeydew[/B] A white, carbohydrate rich sticky sustance that is secreted by aphids and some scale insects found on Eucalypt leaves. [B]Lerps[/B] Small bugs that live on gum leaves [B]Manna[/B] A sweet tasting, honeydew like liquid secreted by sap-sucking insects, that when dried forms manna; [B]Fungi[/B] [B]Eucalyptas Sap[/B] This is obtained by stripping of the bark. [B]Pollen[/B] The powdery substance found on a flower's stamen. [B]Nectar[/B] A sugar rich liquid produce by flowers. Favourite nectar rich flowers of the Sugar Glider are Bottlebrush, Grevellia, Flowering Gum, Banksia, and Grass Tree(flowering stem). [B]Acacia (Wattle) Gum[/B] The Gum is produced in response to damage or wound to the Acacia tree. Sugar Gliders chew the trunk of the Acacia tree to stimulate the flow of its gum, which they then consume. Wattle Gum is not easily digested because of its high Tannin properties. But, because Sugar Gliders consume a great deal of wattle gum they have an enlarged ceacum, larger than other, similar feeding species. The enlarged ceacum helps to faciliatate microbial fermentation of these types of foods. [B]Acacia (Wattle) Seeds[/B] [/QUOTE]
