In their native habitat, sugar gliders may breed twice a year, giving birth to an average of two joeys at a time.

Unfortunately, when confined in cages, sugar gliders will breed more often, giving rise to increased stress for the female. This unnatural stress can cause the female to become exhausted and, on rare occasions, to eat the young.

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.

How would you describe a sugar glider nest?

Well a Sugar glider can live in many different habitats and environments. The ones that I know of is a little nest that the build in/on a tree. If the Sugar glider's nest is in the tree.... there will be a big hole in a tree branch with multiple twigs and leaves. Though if this adorable animal is living on the tree it is almost like a bird nest but, there are a bunch of leaves. These creatures use twigs for the structure and make the rest with leaves. Unlike, a Sugar glider's nest some birds use mud and when I've seen multiple bird nests they use more twigs than leaves.


Do sugar gliders like tree leaves and bark?

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).
