Exotic Nutrition Sugar Glider Vitamin Combo Pack, powder multivitamin, powder calcium supplement

This sugar glider vitamin combo pack pairs a 2 oz jar of Glider Booster with a 3.5 oz jar of Glider-Cal, and both come as powders. Glider Booster is described as a vitamin and mineral supplement for sugar gliders, and Glider-Cal is 96.5% calcium carbonate with no phosphorus. The pair suits gliders on a homemade or varied diet, where the nutritional analysis is not something you can pin down.

Does this combo suit your glider's diet?

The manufacturer positions the set for a homemade diet, or a varied one whose nutritional analysis you cannot pin down. It is not a substitute for sound nutritional practices, so it sits alongside the food you already offer rather than replacing it.

Two more things to check before buying. The label directions are measured per pound of food, and the label's target audience field reads dogs, so the pack is not presented as a food in itself.

The two powders and what each one is

Glider Booster is the vitamin and mineral side of the pair, a powder that also carries live saccharomyces yeast. Glider-Cal is a calcium carbonate powder at 96.5% and is phosphorous-free. Both are made with all natural, human grade ingredients, and the manufacturer lists zero fillers, colours or additives.

The manufacturer notes the combo for breeding gliders, and also for times of illness, travel or other stressful situations. One scoop of either powder is not part of the directions; the amounts are given by weight of food instead.

What the labels list

Glider-Cal is 96.5% calcium carbonate. Glider Booster lists flaxseed meal, soy flour and soybean oil among its ingredients, along with dicalcium phosphate and a range of vitamins including E, biotin, pantothenic acid, choline, niacin, B-6, A, D and B-12. Natural and artificial flavours are on the Booster list as well.

Live saccharomyces yeast is another Booster ingredient. The calcium powder carries no phosphorus.

How the powders are mixed

For each pound of food, the manufacturer directs you to measure out 1 teaspoon of Glider-Cal and 1 teaspoon of Glider Booster. Both jars are powders, so the two are measured out together into the food rather than given on their own.

What arrives in the pack
