Sugar gliders are omnivores.

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).
