[What is ginger?]

Ginger is a plant with leafy stems and yellowish green flowers. The ginger spice comes from the roots of the plant. Ginger is native to warmer parts of Asia, such as China, Japan, and India, but now is grown in parts of South American and Africa. It is also now grown in the Middle East to use as medicine and with food.

[How does it work?]

Ginger contains chemicals that may reduce nausea and inflammation. Researchers believe the chemicals work primarily in the stomach and intestines, but they may also work in the brain and nervous system to control nausea.

Written recipe:

Vegetables:
150g butternut squash
140g sweet potato
50g carrots

Fruits:
70g papaya
- 20g melon
- 20g Persimmon

Protein:
- 1 boiled, peeled egg (or 50g chicken breast, cooked in only water. The egg is in the original recipe, I simply like to offer different protein as well.)

Also add:
- 1 Tablespoon (18g) linseed soaked in hot water/hot chicken broth
- 2 Teaspoons (10g) Wombaroo High Protein Supplement
- 1 Tablespoon (15g) natural, probiotic yoghurt
- 1/4 (1.25g) Teaspoon acacia gum
- 1 Teaspoon (5g) bee pollen
- 1 Tablespoon (20-25g) wheatgerm

One batch makes around 30-40 cubes. I only have 2 trays, that is why I am only showing you 20 in this video.
This batch actually made 40 cubes in total.

I serve mine 1 cube per glider per night. I take them out in the morning before the feeding and let them thaw in the fridge until the evening. Twice a week I add calcium to their mix.

They can have their treats as usual as soon as they have started to eat their diet.

Some days they will eat more than others, don’t let that alarm you. As long as they go back to their normal feeding habit the next day or the day after that it’s ok. Sometimes they eat too many treats and are not so hungry anymore. Very often they are influenced by the moon phase and will sleep longer and eat less during the night.

If you feel like your sugar glider might be sick and that is why it is not eating, please take it to a vet immediately. There is no magic recipe for healing a sick sugar glider.

————————————————————————————————————————

Staple diet and cage size are two of the most important factors that have to be taken into consideration when buying a sugar glider (actually at least 2, since they are colony animals and should not be kept alone – no matter how much time you spend with them).

Please do your research before purchasing them. A good place to start is here: https://sugarglider.info/

Uva Ursi: This herb is commonly called bearberry and its leaves are used in various medications to prevent urinary tract infections. It also functions like an antiseptic and includes anti-inflammatory properties that promote a healthy urinary system. Uva ursi also contains tannins that provide an astringent effect. However, this herb cannot be used by nursing mothers and pregnant women.
Garlic and Rose Hips: Both garlic and rose hips possess antibacterial properties as well as high amounts of vitamin C.
Saw Palmetto: Saw Palmetto contains fat-soluble components. It is used by men for cleansing the urinary tract as well as for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. Since both these medical concerns happen to be correlated, they have almost the same symptoms like urine retention, leakage and nocturia.
Cranberry: This fruit has anti-inflammatory properties and contains high levels of antioxidants. It is typically used for preventing urinary tract infections. Research shows that the proanthocyanidins present in the fruit prevent infection – causing bacteria from binding to the walls of the urinary system.
Juniper berry: This berry possesses aromatic compounds that help to increase the flow of urine as well as produce digestive fluids. Juniper berry also functions as a diuretic, antiseptic and stimulant.
Dandelion root: These roots have bitter compounds that help in improving the detoxification and elimination functions of the body. It increases the flow of urine and functions like a laxative.
Couch grass: This herb is a strong diuretic which soothes inflammation and also heals the lining of the bladder in case of mucus discharges. Additionally, it helps relieve painful as well as frequent urination.
Marshmallow root: This root increases urine acidity which helps in reducing the growth of bacteria. It strengthens the bladder as well as cleanses it of harmful toxins.
Furthermore, herbs such as fennel and nettles are diuretics that help to flush water out from the kidneys. Eucalyptus, ginger, black cohosh, Oregon grape root, garlic, St. John’s wort, chamomile, thyme and gingko fight specific bacteria within the urinary tract. Using these herbs on a regular basis can help keep the urinary tract healthy.
Although these herbs help treat urinary tract infections, certain allopathic medications likeMacrobid Generic can also prove beneficial.
Macrobid Generic is an antibiotic medication that fights bacteria in the body and is used for treating urinary tract infections. Macrobid functions by interfering with different chemical processes in bacteria which eventually kills the bacteria.
