Milk Suggestion for Suggies


Hey its me again! 
Okay so, on this entry i am going to talk about is milk, the necessity of giving milk and also what type of milk is suitable for your glider. 
MILK.
So, milk. Now from my first blog I already mention on the requirement for a baby suggie especially at a tender age of 2 months they would probably require milk. Now people will debate that sugar gliders are for a fact lactose and tolerant. I am here stating that I totally agree with this factual accusation however not all milk are actual harmful milk to gliders.
There are many types of milk that are safe for your suggies, just like me I feed my suggies milk every single day for the last 4 months and they are happy living their life with drinking milk. 
NECESSITY OF GIVING MILK.
Now like I have said for a few times now it depends thoroughly on your glider some will not require and some will. Depending on your suggies age or adaptment. From personal experient my suggies required milk at even the age of 2 1/2 months. But they are many substitutes for milk such as gliderade, apple juice and etc.
Milk actually gives energy to your gliider and helps it strengthens up. Don’t be alarmed if your glider is not showing any appetite right after drinking milk, its not that it doesn’t want to eat but more likely it is full. Milk has a tendency to fill up the gliders tummy. Now if your glider is sick or not well, giving milk from my experience is a must because usually giving milk especially Ensure really boost up their appetite at times and drinking milk will probably be a better idea because they will consume it. Definately. 
WHAT TYPE OF MILK.
Okay, on what type of milk, i’m going to suggest the milk that I have been using which is COMPLETE NUTRITION ENSURE with FOS. Now this milk has been a god given gift to me this milk literally helped me go through a lot of pain and suffering with healing my suggies. This milk contains NO FAT, LACTOSE AND TOLERANT FREE, PROTEIN and even VITAMINS. 
Now there are many variations on milk but the only thing you need to search is probably anything that says lactose free and contains protein. Usually there are some types of baby milk that contains such requirements however I never actually found them. Anyhow to make things easier there are milk called the WAMBAROO MILK REPLACER. now this is a much easier milk because it is formulated for sugar gliders however it is quite dificult to find them in Malaysia. 
So a container of 400g of COMPLETE NUTRITION ENSURE with FOS costs around RM34.40 from the AA farmacy. 
FYI: when buying the Ensure milk make sure the flavor is Vanilla not chocolate or anything else.
So that’s about it for this entry. If you would like me to talk about any type of topic regarding how I look and play with my suggies just send a comment or message or even an e-mail at SuggiesIsMyLife@gmail.com.
