Sugar gliders can eat agave nectar in small amounts, as it is a natural sweetener. However, it should not be a primary part of their diet due to its high sugar content, which can lead to obesity and other health issues. It's best to offer a varied diet that includes fruits, vegetables, and protein sources, while treating agave nectar as an occasional treat. Always consult with a veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations for your sugar glider.
