Flying Squirrels eat a variety of foods, with some exceptions. A balanced diet with equal amounts of nuts, dried vegetables, fruit (fresh or dried) and a commercial flying squirrel diet is necessary for a healthy flying squirrel. For convenience purposes, mix these proportions in the same container. Refrigerate the container if it contains perishables.

Typically, flying squirrels eat about 5 to 10 grams of food per night, so a tablespoon or two per squirrel per night is ideal. Fruit is important for digestion, to prevent constipation. You may feed fruit, nuts and vegetables separate from the tablespoon portion.
Their favorite food is pecans, but don’t feed to squirrels in an abundance, because your squirrel will desire only the pecans, and nothing else. Anything containing sugar should be fed sparingly as a treat. Chocolate and caffeine should never be fed to any flying squirrel.
