The parents of the sugar glider should stay with the baby for at least 8 weeks, if that is what you're asking.
In their natural state, sugar gliders may live in a group of up to seven adults and their young, which form a 'clan', sharing a nest. The young joeys learn to socialise with the other young, playing with them, but also learn to be fiercely defensive of their own territory. Whether this works when sugar gliders are being kept in captivity in a tiny cage is uncertain.
Sugar gliders are not subject to cannibalism, as they are herbivores and insectivores.
Occasionally, sugar gliders which are kept as pets have been known to eat their own young. This is only because sugar gliders are wild animals, and cannot be truly domesticated - if they eat another glider's young it is because of a specific stress they are experiencing in captivity.

Both the mother and father will cannibalize the young if they feel that there is something wrong with it --- that is just their nature. If the young is healthy though, and both the mother and father are at the proper age to be breeding, the father plays a large part in helping to raise the joeys.
Sugar gliders never eat other sugar gliders when in their native habitat.
The practice of keeping these delicate creatures as exotic pets has resulted in some instances where sugar gliders cannibalise their young. They may do this if they are stressed - not all that uncommon, as sugar gliders are not meant to be confined in cages: they are wild animals, and cannot be truly domesticated.
no
Yes. Like the young of all marsupials, baby sugar gliders are called joeys.
Baby sugar gliders feed on mothers' milk.
All marsupials are born very undeveloped. Like other marsupials, baby sugar gliders are about the size of a jellybean when they are first born.
Sugar gliders diet in the wild consists of eucalyptus,sap and nectar,also bugs and sometimes baby birds..They are mostly sap suckers.

By a male and female sugar glider that breed together, your product is a baby sugar glider also know as a joey ;)
Putting sugar gliders of the same sex and different ages is not a good idea. You should pair sugar gliders when they are young and both the same sex or if male and female they should be neutered otherwise gliders have a tendency to reproduce like crazy.
Sugar gliders will cannibalize their young for any of the following reasons:if something is wrong with itif they are stressed - a common cause, as sugar gliders are not meant to be confined in cages: they are wild animals, and cannot be truly domesticatedif humans handle the joey too soon (although this is usually not the cause)
they are SOOO cute. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k112/tahoeamber/Sugar-Glider-Baby-pix.jpg
Yes, you will need to clip a Sugar Gliders nails once a month or so. Use baby nail clippers and just take off the pointy tip. Never cut deep, as this can result in injury.
it can leave 6-8 weeks
Sugar Gliders eat sap from acacias and eucalypts as well as insects, which means they are classed as omnivores.Yes. They can eat a wide variety of stuff including: fruits, vegetables, protein, and breads and cereals. Their diet should consist of 20% - 30% fruits (some sources say only 5%), 40% vegetables (they tend not to like bananas and citrus fruits can cause diarrhea, canned fruits have too much sugar, frozen vegetables are ok), 25% to 50% protein (such as monkey chow, tofu, cooked turkey or chicken, hardboiled eggs, baby chicks or mice, and insects), and 15% breads and cereals (not too sugary or high in fat). Gliders are high-energy creatures and need lots of carbohydrates which breads and cereals can provide. You can occasionally give them them small pieces of wheat bread, shredded wheat squares (the kind with the raisin in the middle) or other HEALTHY cereals. Try experimenting with new foods, and make sure to rotate favorites to keep gliders from losing interest.
