They are neat animals!
I've never had one but I do know DIET is very important.

I haven't updated my glider knowlege lately, but I believe they are insectivores, eating insects in the wild, supplemented with fruit and nuts. Diet is pretty important for a sugar glider, so you should look up as many websites, books, and magazine info as you can and choose the best diet plan from there. I never go from just 1 or 2 sources. For my hedgehogs, which are also insectivores, I used 2 or 3 different staple hedgehog diets, alternatingly, and supplemented that with baby food, bits of fruit, gutloaded insects from the pet store (crickets, mealworms, and a worm once in a while from my garden) and tiny bits of meat (chicken, fish) for a treat. He loved hunting around for the bugs... I think the mental stimulation was really important for his happiness. I think this is the same basic diet for a glider, hope this gives you some ideas!

So i would say feed it grapes and carrots.It will not hurt the sugar glider and they are good for the sugar glider to.

They like fruit (bananas, grapes, apples, etc.), and you need to pick up some glider-aid. It's a powder that you mix with water to make a sort of necter. They like that. I also used to give mine some juice.
