Sugar Glider Care Guide

Sugar Glider Care Guide

Sugar gliders are exotic marsupials that bond deeply with their owners and require a highly specialized diet mimicking wild nectar, fruit, and insect intake (BML or TPG diet recommended). They are nocturnal, social, and need daily out-of-pouch bonding time.

Quick Care Facts

  • Diet: Specialized fresh diet (BML or TPG) — never seed mixes or pellets alone
  • Lifespan: 12–15 years
  • Social: Must be kept in pairs — solitary gliders develop depression
  • Housing: Tall cage minimum 24x24x36 inches with horizontal bar spacing ≤ 0.5 in
  • Bonding: Daily pouch time essential — they imprint on their owners
