Behavior and Temperament

Many people find pet sugar gliders to be endearing and entertaining. They are quick, love to climb, and will glide from place to place if their space allows it. Plus, as nocturnal animals (meaning they're most active at night), they like to cuddle up in a nest during the day to sleep.

Because they are social animals, it's usually ideal to have more than one sugar glider, one male and several females.1 However, it's typically best to keep them away from pets of other species in the household, as they might injure one another.

Food and Water

For pet sugar gliders, variations of the homemade Bourbon's Modified Leadbeater (BML) diet are very popular. Honey, calcium powder, and baby cereal are often used in these recipes to provide proper nutrition to your glider. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be offered in moderation, less than 10 percent of total diet, because many lack essential vitamins, minerals, and protein and contain mostly water.1 Many owners put out meals in small food bowls in the morning and at night. But some sugar gliders tend to graze, rather than eat a full meal at once. So don't be concerned if you see some food leftover, but do discard leftovers prior to the next meal to prevent them from spoiling.

Consult your veterinarian on the best quantity to feed your glider, as this can vary based on age, size, and activity level. And always keep a water dish or bottle in the cage, which should be refreshed at least daily.
