******* IMPORTANT PLEASE READ ********

The staff here at Sugar Lumps don't want to rail road anyone into using certain diets, I myself became a victim of some very upsetting emails, accusations, name calling etc when I joined a certain US forum because I DON'T USE BML!!! 

The diets have been pinned onto this site to allow you to look at the differences between them and to make a decision for yourself.  None of the staff here (except for 1 I think) use any of the Leadbeater modifications because of the amount of sugar in the diet, it causes dental issues, obesity, heart problems and even diabetes.  In fact a number of our American cousins are even turning their backs on the Leadbeaters diet.  The sugar isn't the only issue either, vitamin and calcium levels are also an issue.

The Australian versions (Healesville Sanctuary and Taronga Zoo diets) use Australian honey and in smaller amounts, this makes the diet less sweet, therefore less damaging to the suggies health.  Unfortunately these diets are not used as regularly as the US versions, but they have been proven to show excellent results. 

Please make sure you read the US diet study and review, listen to what we have to say, take our advice as it is all based on our own experience with suggies as well as the countless hours of research.  We're here because we're passionate about our gliders and we want to help your gliders too. 

WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HEALTH OF YOUR SUGGIES, ALL ADVICE IS BASED ON WHAT HAS WORKED FOR US AND WE ALL HAVE FIT, HEALTHY AND ACTIVE SUGGIES
