Sugar Gliders: Wild
built 620 days ago
One way to get around this potential problem is to keep any new sugar gliders separate for a month, while they bond with you. Then when you introduce them, they are more likely to have the strongest bond with you and not the other sugar glider(s). But you might want to ask yourself this: Is it really such a bad thing if two sugar gliders are strongly bonded together? That is, after all, what they do naturally in the wild. They bond to each other. It’s not as if they are not going to bond to you at all!

A young sugar glider is silver-gray with a black stripe that starts just above the nose leather and extends over the forehead, down the neck and back and joins the black tail. A dark stripe ... runs from the outside corner of the eye to the ear. Captive-raised sugar gliders remain this color throughout their lives. Wild sugar gliders are born this color but usually become stained cocoa brown from the vegetation and tree sap in their nests. Their new coats will come in silver-gray after shedding the old coat.

In the wild, sugar gliders have a wide variety of foods to choose from. To be certain that your sugar gliders are getting what they need, you must ... provide variety. A multitude of foods and proper vitamin supplements will contribute to a long life. While many believe that a diet mixture of fruits is enough, IT IS NOT!! Gliders are omnivorous, they must have more.

In the wild, a Sugar Glider's diet consists of 75% fruits, berries, and other vegetation, and 25% live food such as insects, baby birds, bird eggs, etc. The live food is it's main source of protein. They are omnivorous.

In the wild, the sugar glider diet consists of insects and arachnids (spiders), nectar, pollen, tree sap and gums (from eucalyptus and acacia trees), manna, and honeydew. Protein is supplied primarily through the consumption of insects, moths, beetles, pollen and occasional small birds and other vertebrates. Their diet varies with the seasons. During the spring and summer months, gliders are mostly insectivorous, and during the winter months, they eat gum from the eucalyptus and acacia trees, as well as sap and sugar from the trees and sap-sucking insects.

The Sugar Glider can occupy any area where there are tree hollows for shelter and sufficient food. Its diet varies considerably with both geography and the changing seasons, but the main items are the sap of acacias and certain Eucalyptus, nectar, pollen, and arthropods. It is difficult to see in the wild, being small, wary, and nocturnal, but a sure sign of its presence is the stripping of bark and tooth marks left in the soft, green shoots of acacia trees.
