In the wild a sugar glider will eat nectar, flowers, fruits, gum from the acacia tree, eucalyptus, bird eggs, small birds, small rodents, insects, manna, honeydew, and bark. It is difficult to exactly copy their natural diet but one that is nutritionally complete is absolutely necessary. In addition to diet, sugar gliders do require 8 cubic feet of space per adult glider. This is a minimum. It is best to purchase the largest cage you can afford for them as they can glide up to 150 ft. per jump in the wild.
Sugar gliders are very social creatures.
They will require at least 4 hours a day of your undivided attention. A single glider that does not get the attention it needs can actually die from loneliness. If you cannot spend this much time with your glider, then you should get 2. The litter should be made of an absorbent material. Avoid Cedar and Pine shavings.
