Answer to Question 1

Commercial diets for sugar gliders are available and should be included as part of their diet. The diet should
consist of approximately 75 percent fruits and vegetables and 25 percent protein such as meats and insects.
A list of suggested fresh fruits includes apples, apricots, bananas, melons, cherries, dates, figs, grapes,
oranges, peaches, pears, pineapple, plums, and strawberries.
A list of vegetables that one may feed includes asparagus, beans, beets, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, peas,
sweet potato, and sweet corn.
Lean, cooked beef and poultry are good sources of protein. Hard-boiled eggs, chopped or mashed, and
scrambled eggs are good protein sources and may be fed occasionally.
The sugar glider will enjoy crickets, grasshoppers, mealworms, and wax worms. These can be fed as treats.
Feed live food sparingly because some insects are high in fat and low in calcium.

Answer to Question 2

Sugar gliders, being arboreal in the wild, are very active and very curious. They like to climb and explore.
When selecting the cage for these animals, it needs to be large enough to allow them to explore, climb,
exercise, and glide. The larger the cage, the better suited it is for gliders. Tree limbs or branches should be
added to the cage to give the cage a more natural environment.
Sugar gliders should be supplied with toys to keep them occupied. Toys used for birds such as swings,
perches, ladders, and bells that are made well will be enjoyed by gliders. Gliders can also be supplied with
pieces of PVC pipe or cardboard paper towel rolls. Nest boxes made of wood or plastic can also be used.
These should be placed high in the cage, where the gliders will feel more safe and secure.
