Our sun bears are fed ant eggs, silkworm larvae, meat and plants. This diet closely replicates the kind of food they’d find in the wild.
Wild sun bears climb high up in the treetops to search of insects or sap. Their strong jaw muscles, large canines and sickle-like claws help them to crush the bark of hardwood trees to get at burrowing insects or stingless bees nesting within. Using their long tongue, they can extract insects and honey from even the tiniest crevices.
