SO I have a Southern Flying Squirrel and bought a cage from Suncoast. They sent me some sugar glider food with the cage and i gave a little bit to my flyer and he loved it. I ordered Henry's Healthy Blocks for him before but havne't received them yet. WAs wondering, since romple seems to like this stuff so much, if they're healthy for him?

I wouldn't feed the glider food. Sugar gliders have very different dietary requirements than flying squirrels. It's not that surprising when you consider sugar gliders are marsupials from Australia and flying squirrels are mammals from North America.
