You can't train sugar gliders to defecate in a box however exhibit a behavior that allows you to get them their pooing under control before you let them out of their cage.

Sugar gliders are naturally nocturnal so they tend to sleep away much of the day. When you first wake them up they have a tendency to relieve themselves. They usually will not defecate where they sleep unless they can't get out.

So when you wake up your glider and take him out of the cage be sure that you have either tissues or wipes available. If you are outside hold them over the grass and massage their belly to stimulate the activity.

Once a glider defecates it should not have to go again for about 4 hours. Eventually you become accustomed to your gliders schedule and can anticipate their relieving themselves and thus avoid accidents

Sugar bears are actually Sugar Gliders. In fact, the name Sugar Bears is only given to them by a known sugar glider mill-broker. Onto your question, sugar gliders don't truly seem to claw in the way that a cat does, but they can bite. Some, in fact, bite often and hard enough to draw blood.

Can sugar gliders get along with cats?

It would be taking a huge risk to put them together to find out. Sugar gliders are small marsupials and cats and dogs would probably consider them prey and first kill them then perhaps eat them.Even if the dog or cat did not attack the sugar glider immediately, sugar gliders are fragile animals physically and emotionally. Stress can kill sugar gliders and putting one with natural enemies could well be fatal to it. Avoid putting any of them in unnatural, threatening, or frightening conditions.Cats have evolved over the millennia to be independent hunters and most will kill anything small and defenseless if given opportunity. Some do it for fun, and it matters little what training or upbringing they have had nor how well fed and loved they are when the predator instinct takes over.It is also in a dog's nature to prey upon smaller animals. Some dogs, however, (more so than cats) can be trained and trusted to restrain their prey drive, but others, and especially some from specific breed groups like terriers, can not have the predator instinct trained away.


Are sugar gliders producers consumers or decomposers?

Yes. In their natural habitat of Australia, there are native animals, particularly arboreal ones such as such as kookaburras, quokkas, owls and goannas that will readily prey on sugar gliders.Quolls are carnivorous, cat-sized climbing marsupials that prey on smaller mammals. Tasmanian Devils cannot climb, but they will certainly prey on sugar gliders that are not safe in trees.Unfortunately, feral cats, domestic dogs and foxesare becoming more of a problem. Sugar gliders have no defence against introduced creatures such as these, except to stay in the tree-tops as much as possible.

What do sugar gliders like to do?

Sugar Gliders are nocturnal {they sleep during the day, and are active at night}, because of this they make great pets. They like to sleep in small enclosed areas, or pouches, if you put strips of fabric/news paper/leaves in the cage they like to pull them into their sleep area to make it extra snug. They groom themselves frequently, licking their feet and brushing the swiftly over their fur. During the night Sugar Gliders will emit a sort of squeaking bark to communicate with others. They like to explore, so if you have them out of cage make sure they can't get anywhere they shouldn't. Example: put down toilet seat. drain tubs or sinks {Gliders can't swim}, put other pets {cats/dogs} in another room, and close of ALL openings to the outdoors. Once your Glider escapes it is gone.
