Squirrel gliders, small gliding marsupials of Australia, feed on a variety of flowers, fruits, saps, seeds, pollen and nectar from different Australian native plants such as eucalyptus, wattle and banksias in bushland and forests.

They also feed on invertebrates such as beetles and beetles larvae, cicadas, moths, caterpillars and grasshoppers.

Occasionally they will eat small roosting birds, eggs, mammals such as mice and small lizards.
