below are some controversial issues :

Tofu & Soy Products: Tofu is recommended by Caroline MacPherson as a good source of protein. But some breeders are opposed to soy products being given to sugar gliders. Research on some other animals shows tofu can have a negative effect on the digestive system. As far as we know, a negative effect on sugar gliders has not yet been proven. Some breeders object to tofu because it is a protein source from beans, rather than meat or insect.

Grapes & Raisins: Suncoast Sugar Gliders believes that there may be a connection from grapes and raisins to kidney failure in sugar gliders (as well as other pets). Click here to read Suncoast's newsletter regarding the grape controversy.

Fruit Pits, Skins, and Seeds: There is some debate over whether or not it is safe to leave pits, seeds, and skin on/in fruits. I have read from several sources stating you should remove pits from any fruit that you give your gliders. I ran across this newsletter by Suncoast, which states that although pits, skins, and seeds are bad for gliders, they have come to realize that gliders are smart enough not to eat them and that it is ok to not remove them.
