In the wild, sugar gliders feed on a variety of foods from tree sap and nectar to insects, fruit, and larva. They are omnivores that vary their diet depending on the season and weather.
A healthy sugar glider should eat a well-balanced diet that closely mimics the food they would eat in the wild. This is done by offering them a mix of nectars, commercial pelleted diets made for sugar gliders, live insects that have been gut-loaded and dusted with calcium supplements, and small amounts of fruits and vegetables (not more than 10% of the overall food).
Sugar gliders are excellent climbers, so they need to have access to high places in their cage where they can hang. They can be housed in multi-level cages that accommodate their climbing and jumping skills. They also need a food dish that can be attached to the side of their cage.
Bedding for their cage should be dry moss, cotton, leaves from a tree branch, or wood shavings. These materials absorb urine and droppings from their skin and are non-toxic.
In captivity, sugar gliders should not be exposed to fatty, super sweet foods, apple seeds, or too many insect prey. These foods can lead to obesity, metabolic disorders, and leg paralysis. Other problematic foods include chocolate, dairy products, and raisins. In addition, they should not be fed a commercial diet that is designed for cats or reptiles.
