Vionate Vitamin / Mineral
Nutritional Supplement

Product ID # 5004
SunCoast Sugar Gliders has chosen Vionate as its vitamin and mineral supplement of choice for several reasons. First of all, Vionate is made for warm blooded animals, like mammals
and is suitable for small mammals like sugar gliders. Many of the recommended supplements
are made for reptiles and their supplementation needs can be quite different. Also,
Dr. C told us to use Vionate as she has used this product for many years and trusts that
Gimborn, the manufacturer, is an established company that produces high quality products for the
industry.
In the process of reviewing vitamin and mineral supplements, we checked out several of the
sugar glider specific brands and found out two things. The formulation of their product and
Vionate is not that different. Also, the prices for the sugar glider
supplements were significantly higher and in our opinion, all you were getting
for the money was a picture of a sugar glider on the packaging.
Bogus!
The fact of the matter is that many of us warm blooded creatures, humans included, require
many of the same vitamins and minerals. Our primary focus is to bring you the highest
quality product we could identify at the best value. And that product is Vionate.
Because of a sugar gliders nocturnal nature and very fine bone structure, we also recommend
that you add some additional calcium supplementation to your sugar glider's diet.
We've asked Dr. C to perform this product review personally, as she is much more experienced in matters of
nutritional supplementation than we are. She has chosen a particular
Rep-Cal calcium product as best.
This Vionate formula contains 21 essential vitamins and minerals.
Because it is a highly potent formula, we recommend care in giving this product to your
precious pets. Too high a vitamin dosage can be just as damaging as not enough.
Through our experience, we find that creating batches of food or treats, and
administering the vitamins in batch formulas will help prevent
over-dosage of these important supplements.
If you are using Leadbeater's Mix as the primary part of your sugar gliders diet, we recommend a dosage of
1 Teaspoon of Vionate and 2 Teaspoons of Rep-Cal Calcium per single batch.
If you are not using Leadbeater's Mix, you can mix one part Vionate, one part Green Label Repcal, and
two parts Arnold's Choice Possum Milk Replacer
in a cheese shaker. Give a single generous sprinkle
per night for two gliders to
only one course of the nightly meal; one sprinkle every
other night for one glider. One shake = 1/8 teaspoon.
Vionate comes in a long lasting 8 ounce screw top bottle. One container of Vionate will last about 1½ years for two sugar gliders.
