The feed for flying squirrels can be fresh cypress leaves, pine, elm, jujube, apricot leaves, as well as pine nuts, acorns, chestnuts, walnuts, etc. The branches and leaves should be fresh and green, and some water can be sprinkled on the collected branches and leaves to keep them fresh, because flying squirrels do not like to eat dry branches and leaves. During the breeding season of flying squirrels (from February to June every year), cornmeal can be boiled into a paste, and a small amount of sugar is added to feed the female flying squirrels and young flying squirrels to supply nutrients.

In addition, the owner must feed the flying squirrels regularly. Feeding twice a day, because flying squirrels have the habit of eating night food, for this reason, the owner can feed more at night, and feed in moderation in the morning.
