Sugar Glider Squirrels - Breeding

Mating normally occurs in late autumn or early winter. One or two young stay in the mother's pouch until they reach the age of around three months. Then, the young are left in the nest under the protection of the male. In the mean time, the female are busy with searching for food.

Sugar Glider Squirrels should have a varied diet in order to avoid problems with teeth. These animals will do well on a diet consisting of vegetables and nuts, various fresh and dried fruits. They also eat mealworms, crickets, fresh branches, leaves, flowers of eucalypt and some other native trees. Sugar Glider Squirrels - Handling Basics
It is better to avoid frequent handling Sugar Glider Squirrels. Sugar Gliders should not be touched or handled by their tail. The fur tends to strip off, which may result in its dying.
