How do sugar gliders get their food?

Answer 1

Sugar gliders have very keen senses. They can see in the dark and also smell their prey. After tracking the bird, insect, or small mammal, gliders pounce and use their sharp claws and teeth to attack the animal and rip and tear their prey quickly. Meat makes up about 50% of this omnivore's diet.

Answer 2

In their native environment, sugar gliders feed on tree sap, nectar, some fruits and a variety of small insects such as mealworms, beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, lerps and moths. They prefer sap and resin from trees such as eucalyptus (gum trees) and acacia (wattle).

Sugar gliders hunt and feed at night. They find much of their food on the trees they inhabit, but have been known to catch insects on the "run", using their gliding membrances as they leap out and catch food.
