Flying squirrels are currently in great demand by animal lovers. Besides adorable, this animal is also very friendly and has been recognized as a animal with a high social sense.
This animal has a similar analogy with the sugar glider that is big eyes and white chest. Then there are the leather sheets from feet to hands, so this squirrel can fly.
But do not imagine that this squirrel can fly like a bird. This animal is also considered very sensitive, care must also be careful. Do not get used to giving a sweet to this animal because it causes dehydration.
Furthermore, this animal also can not stand the cold, therefore get used to cover it with a piece of cloth or blanket. Flying squirrels have no special food but Flying Squirrel lovers in Japan suggest that their main meals are 60% Dara Foods plus 40% Pellet Foods, such as Natural Pet Food (310558) Excel Pigeon Food 60% and Marukan MR-65 Hamster Main Food 40%.
According to them both examples are the best mixture as the main food. Give them snack foods like Marukan MR-115, 116 Hamster Main Balance Food. But be careful not to overeat because the protein is too high.
