Yes, sugar gliders possess camouflage traits that aid in their survival. Their fur typically has a grayish-brown color with lighter underparts, allowing them to blend in with the tree bark and foliage of their natural habitat.

This seems to depend on the type of leaves and bark given to the sugar glider, and of course the individual sugar glider. My own gliders love eucalyptus leaves, but I know of many gliders that do not. Before you attempt to introduce any sort of leaves and bark to your sugar gliders, please be sure that it is not toxic, and that it has been properly cared for (no pesticides).
