Best Answer

Sugar gliders are omnivores. In their native environment, sugar gliders feed on tree sap, nectar, some fruits and a variety of small insects such as mealworms, beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, lerps and moths. They prefer sap and resin from trees such as eucalyptus (gum trees) and acacia (wattle).

Sugar gliders hunt and feed at night. They find much of their food on the trees they inhabit, but have been known to catch insects on the "run", using their gliding membrances as they leap out and catch food.

How long can a sugar glider live without food or water?

If they have water, sugar gliders may possibly survive 3.5 days, however, one should never live them without food and water. If a sugar glider is lost in the house, one should place small amounts of food and water all over the place till the animal is recovered. After 3.5 days without food a sugar glider will be very light. If the sugar glider receives a large amount of food after starvation, it may develop intestinal blockage and die very painfully after refeeding.
