If you are feeding a healthy balanced diet made specifically for sugar gliders, I'm not sure why you would even consider introducing something made for dogs/cats even as a treat. There are many other options you can give as treats for sugar gliders. Your Sugar Glider Resource Center Sugar Glider Help

Gliders need consistency in their staple which is where they get their protein as well as vitamins, etc. They get their variety (changing it up for them) in the veggies/fruits offered plus the occasional treats. Offering items such as dog/cat food will throw off the balance. Now, most of us do let our gliders have very occasional 'cheat' nights, which will usually consist of plain chicken, boiled/scrambled eggs, mac & cheese with veggies/fruits OR special items on Thanksgiving/Christmas that contain basically no seasoning or very little staying away from garlic or onion.

If you want to feed a kibble, I would go with Happy Glider kibble from PetPro. Dog food is for dogs, cat food is for cats and Happy Glider Kibble is for sugar gliders.
