THE MISSISSIPPI REBEL GLIDER RANCH IN AN EFFORT TO FURTHER THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF OUR EXCITING SPECIES OF ANIMALS HAS RECENTLY WORKED DILIGENTLY ON A PROPER NUTRITIONAL SOURCE FOR PRE-WEANED INFANT SUGAR GLIDERS WHEN THEY ARE REJECTED FROM NURSING WITH THE MOTHER. FOR SOME TIME THE INDUSTRY HAS HAD AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT IN THE BOOSTER MILK SUBSTITUTE PRODUCT FOR MARSUPIAL MILK. USUALLY ONCE THE EYES OPEN OR WITHIN A WEEK THEREAFTER THE INFANT SHOULD BE STARTED ON A MEDIUM DIET OF A NUTRITIONAL SUBSTANCE BETWEEN THE MOTHERS MILK OR IN THIS CASE THE BOOSTER MILK PRIOR AND CONSUMING A SOLID ADULT DIET. UP TILL NOW MOST BREEDERS AND HOBBYIST HAVE DEPENDED ON COMMERCIAL BABY FOODS FOR HUMANS. THE PROBLEM WITH BABY FOOD IS IT CONTAINS THE SAME PRESERVATIVES FOUND IN ANY OTHER CANNED FOODS. WE ARE ADMITTED IN NOT ALLOWING ADULT SUGAR GLIDERS TO CONSUME CANNED VEGETABLES AND FRUITS AND IT ONLY STANDS TO REASON WE SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED WITH INFANTS CONSUMING THESE PRESERVATIVES IN THE PACKAGED BABY FOODS FOR HUMANS. WITH THIS IN MIND WE HAVE FORMULATED AN INFANT DIET FOR INFANT SUGAR GLIDERS AGES 4 WEEKS TO 7 WEEKS DURING THAT TRANSITION PERIOD BETWEEN MILK ONLY AND SOLID FOODS. OUR PRODUCT IS A POWDERED PRODUCT THAT IS MIXED WITH WARM WATER TO CONSISTENCY OF A HOT CEREAL PRODUCT. IT CAN ALSO BE ADDED TO YOGURT AT THE CARE GIVERS DISCRETION. SHELF LIFE ONCE MIXED IS HELD TO 6 HOURS. WITH THIS IN MIND WE RECOMMEND MIXING ONLY SMALL QUANTITIES FOR IMMEDIATE FEEDING. WE RECOMMEND THE MIXED PRODUCT BE SERVED IN AN EXTREMELY SHALLOW JAR LID OR EQUIVALENT TO PROTECT THE INFANT FROM DROWNING IN THE PRODUCT.
