Can sugar gliders be left alone for a few days?
No, absolutely not. Water bottles can, and do, leak... In fact, any source of water has the possibility of malfunctioning. If the water source malfunctioned, the gliders would be without water for days. Also, if sugar gliders are being fed a proper diet (with fruits and veggies), the food should not be left out for more than 12 hours (less than, ideally). Leaving it out for longer could result in the sugar gliders getting ill. Beyond that, anything can happen when you're gone. The sugar gliders could get injured, escape, or become seriously ill. Please do not leave your sugar gliders unless you have someone to come in and check on them twice a day.
