The Mahogany glider is a solitary feeder, eating the nectar, pollen and sap of around twenty different species of Australian plants. It eats the arils of wattles: arils are protein-rich stringy structures which connect seeds to their pod. The Mahogany Glider also eats honeydew - not the melon, but a sweet sticky substance which is excreted by insects such as aphids. It is omnivorous, feeding also on insects such as lerps.
