Wholesome Balance Sugar Glider Food
Back in 2006, SunCoast partnered with renowned animal nutrition scientist Dr. Ellen S. Dierenfeld to undertake the first clinical study of sugar glider nutrition. Dierenfeld is formerly of the St. Louis Zoo and the Bronx Zoo. You can read her full background here. Needless to say, we were pleased when Dr. Dierenfeld agreed to help us create a new kind of sugar glider food. After 2+ years of activity since the study, we are proud to introduce this product, developed with Dr. Dierenfeld and information obtained in feeding trials. Wholesome Balance Chicken and Brown Rice Blend is the first dry sugar glider food to use animal protein as the main ingredient while at the same time providing a more natural approach to sugar glider food. Prior to developing this food, ZooKeeper’s Secret was one of two commercially available sugar glider foods where animal protein is the primary nutrition source. However, both these foods are moist and uneaten portions should be discarded and replaced each day. Because it’s a dry food, Wholesome Balance does not have to be replaced each day. Sugar gliders love the taste and it’s easier and more economical to to feed. Wholesome Balance Chicken and Brown Rice sugar glider food is a healthy alternative approach to glider nutrition that can save you time and money too! Why is Animal Protein in Glider Food Important? The selection of chicken was based on the knowledge that diets using animal protein as the primary ingredient (as opposed to vegetable protein like soy or corn) contain a better balance of essential amino acids to help gliders maintain health and thrive, not just survive. This dry food was designed to balance amino acids that may be lacking in other components of the Diet; the animal proteins also mimic consumption of insects eaten in the wild. Let’s walk through some of the main ingredients: Chicken Meal made from Human Grade Chickens We found a plant that creates Chicken Meal from broiler chickens processed for human
