Sugar gliders will cannibalize their young for any of the following reasons:
- if something is wrong with it
- if 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 domesticated
- if humans handle the joey too soon (although this is usually not the cause)
