Best Answer

There are some species of animals, including rabbits and (I presume) sugar gliders, who eat a lot of leaves and have a diet high in cellulose, and they cannot digest this diet with just one pass through their relatively small digestive systems (cows can digest cellulose because they have four stomachs, and can retain the food for much longer than a rabbit can). Eating their own feces (or pellets) gives them the chance to complete the digestive process.

What care issues are for sugar gliders?

The biggest is providing a good diet. The sugar glider has a very complex diet which is difficult to replicate in captivity. It is tricky to find a good diet, and even if you find one that works out nutritionally, you might have a picky glider that won't eat it. The best diet in the world is no good if the glider will not eat it. Other issues can be finding an exotic vet that is familiar with sugar gliders, as not many are.
