I googled and found this on Sugar Gliders:
Most Sugar Gliders will begin breeding somewhere between
7 months to a year, with some waiting until they are 13 to 14
months old. They will mate year round, provided they have enough
protein. They usually have 2 babies at a time, 4 to 6 babies
a year, if weanlings are removed after independent. The gestation
period is short -- about 16 days. Once birthed they are carried
in the maternal pouch for 2.5 to 3 months. The male may remain
with the female throughout the entire birthing process, but it
is best to simply leave the mother alone during this period.
When they are out of the pouch, covered with fur, have their eyes
open and have been eating solid food for 3-4 weeks they are 3/4
grown, independent and ready to ween. At this time, they can be
gently handled for short periods of time. Just be sure that they
are getting plenty of fruit & protein and are handled gently. BE
SURE NOT TO REMOVE THEM FROM THE POUCH BEFORE THIS TIME BECAUSE ONCE THEY ARE REMOVED FROM THE NIPPLE, THEY CANNOT REATTACH THEMSELVES.
When they are weaned, they should be gently handled
frequently and gently, if they are to be pets.
How do I feed the newborns?
The newborns should be eating semi-solid foods such as low-
fat fruit yogurts and baby foods until they are around 3 months
old, when they can start gradually recieving solid foods.
When should they be removed from the parents?
Usually between 2.5 to 3 months of age is the best time. The change
in the colony size affects the babies and the parents, so they may
be stressed for a few days after the break-up. Females usually
are aggressive toward female babies after they are older than 3 months,
but males are usually ignored.
More information on this web page. Hope this helps.
