Sugar glider Treat Ideas for first time owners!

watermelons (no seeds), apple slices, bananas (Caramel gliders love bananas), and mangoes. Fresh fruits are great to add to the TPG (The Pet Glider) diet mix. Dehydrated fruits are also fine for Sugar Gliders as long as it's organic (no added sugars) and given in very small pieces.

Facts about Suggies!
These marsupials are able to glide up to 45 meters (148.5 ft.) and have been observed to leap at and catch moths in flight.
Sugar gliders live in large colonies of 20 to 40 individuals with two alpha males fathering the majority of offspring.

Young gliders usually leave around 10 months to start their own colonies.
Sugar gliders get their name because of the specialized flap connecting the front leg to the hind leg, giving them the ability to glide.
When angry, gliders lean back and make a chattering noise that resembles a small, yapping dog. If this warning doesn't work, they strike with full force.

Sugar gliders have opposable thumbs and four fingers on both hands and feet. Each finger has a sharp toe that can hook like Velcro to most non-slick surfaces.

Males have a bald spot on their head, which is actually a scent gland.
Females have a pouch on their belly in which they raise their young for 10 weeks after birth.

Some good to know info on gliders for first time owners. Enjoy!

Sugar gliders enjoy toys and other items in their cage as enrichment. Hide and nest boxes and pouches allow safety, comfort, and dark areas to rest. Frequently switch other enrichment tools in the cage, including shelves, solid running wheel, swings, and bird toys. Branches and plants are extremely important to mimic a glider’s natural environment and allowing room to leap and climb. Use caution with any natural products to ensure you’re not introducing pests or chemical sprays. Sugar gliders will chew on branches, so make sure only nontoxic plants and trees are provided.

Line the bottom of the cage with paper towels, hay, or Carefresh bedding. Stay away from wood shavings which may cause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory system. Spot-clean the cage daily and perform a more thorough cleaning of housing, toys, and accessories every few weeks.

Because they are nocturnal, do not keep gliders in bright sunlight, which may result in eye damage. Sugar gliders thrive around 75-90 degrees F and should never be kept in environments lower than 70 degrees—even at night. Owners may utilize additional heat sources in colder months to provide appropriate temperatures.

Where do sugar gliders live?
Sugar gliders are found around the Northern & Southern parts of Australia!

They inhabit wooded areas of a open forest. They are arboreal, finding safety, shelter, and food above the ground. They shelter by day in cozy leaf nests constructed in tree hollows. They mark and protect their territory, which can include over two acres of forested land. These are amazing creatures of the night as they are Nocturnal.

Certain foods can be harmful to your sugar gliders. Some types of foods can harm your sugar gliders in the long term, while other types of food can cause immediate health problems.

That’s why you always need to make sure not to leave those foods lying around your house if your sugar glider is roaming around. Here’s a list of harmful foods to sugar gliders
