1. **Cage:**
- Stainless steel cage, 90cm tall or above. If budget is tight, consider an iron cage (with rust risk).
- included hanging pouch,water bottle,wheel[30cm stainless steel]
- Recommended brands: PETOPIA/VIAN SUGAR GLIDER.
- cages have a bottom tray far from the cage, making it easy to clean with urine pads (Shopee: Urine Pad, M size).
2.
a)**4-Month-Old Sugar Glider:**
- Nightly diet hpw/mwd/gliderslurp with vegetables, fruits, and protein. Requires calcium and phosphorus (found in vegetables/fruits).

**Food List👇**
*Applicable Age: Bred at least two months old (excluding those with poor constitution). Delay feeding by one month for those with poor constitution.*
*Fruits:👇*
- Apple, Papaya, Cantaloupe, Honeydew, White Lan melon (Elizabeth melon), Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, Dragon Fruit, Jackfruit, Coconut Meat (fresh coconut flesh scooped out), Fig, Guava, Kiwi, Lychee, Winter Jujube, Cherry Tomato, Pear (small amount), Mango (controversial), Pomegranate, Mangosteen, Plum, Peach, Watermelon (small amount), Pineapple (small amount), Lantern Fruit, Passion Fruit, Mulberry, Star Fruit, Wax Apple, Ginseng Fruit, Cherries (controversial), Loquat, Custard Apple, Orange (controversial), Pomelo, Orange
(Note: Citrus peels should be thoroughly cleaned. Feed pure fruit pulp. Excessive Red Dragon Fruit may cause diarrhea, but it is the preferred choice for constipation. Limited intake for cool and high-water-content fruits.)
*Vegetables:👇*
- Watercress, Chinese Cabbage, Bok Choy, Baby Bok Choy, Romaine Lettuce, Lettuce, Rapeseed, Tomato, Cucumber, Cabbage, Kale, Cilantro, Endive, Water Spinach (blanched), Celery (blanched/cooked), Broccoli (cooked), Cauliflower (cooked), Pumpkin (cooked), Yam (cooked), Corn (cooked and in small amounts), Peas (cooked), Carrot (blanched/cooked), Dandelion (blanched)
(Note: Vegetables with high oxalic acid must be cooked thoroughly. If unsure which have high oxalic acid, please search on Baidu before feeding. For those experiencing diarrhea, offer cooked pumpkin or cooked apple.)
*Avoid: Nuts such as peanuts, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, processed human food, and other animal feed. Grapes and raisins are also to be avoided.*
*In Moderation:👇*
- Citrus (oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, kumquats), Milk, Melons (papaya, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew), excessive consumption may cause diarrhea. Sweet Potato, Spinach, Walnuts, Beets, Chinese Kale, Mustard Greens, Bell Pepper, Strawberries, Grapes, Blueberries, etc., high oxalic acid content may affect calcium absorption, so it's advised in small amounts.
*Meat (cooked):*
- Chicken Breast (wings and wingtips are also acceptable, skin removed), Salmon (lean and in small amounts), Shrimp (occasional small amount), Chicken Eggs (fully cooked), Quail Eggs (fully cooked) - only steamed with plain water. Meat can also be minced and made into meatballs with a small amount of vegetables and eggs. I prefer mixing and freezing them in ice trays, steaming them when needed. No seasoning or starch should be added.
(Note: Avoid giving egg yolks alone as it may cause choking. Egg whites can be given in small amounts. Seafood should be fed in very limited quantities, and other types should not be experimented with.)
*Important: Nursing mothers require double protein supplementation, e.g., if they usually eat 10 mealworms at a time, during lactation, they need 20 mealworms per day. It is recommended to feed insects during the day to avoid affecting nighttime feeding. If feeding mealworms, be cautious about replacing them with other meaty insects, as excessive or frequent feeding of mealworms can lead to black tooth spots. (No similar issues found with other insects). Additionally, it's advisable to add HPW Original Powder to the main diet (0.5g-1g per glider).
3. **Supplements:**
- Consider ExoticNutrition's calcium powder and booster (vitamins) for increase immunity.
4. **Nail Trimming:**
- Trim nails every week.
5. **Male and Female Differences:**
- Males may experience hair loss on the head and chest, females have less odors.
6. **Bathing:**
- Males can be bathed, females cannot (due to pouch). Dry with paper, avoid using a hairdryer, especially near the ears.
7. **Companionship:**
- Requires companionship to avoid depression. Ideally kept in pairs.
8. **Preference for Eucalyptus Leaves:**
- Sugar gliders like eucalyptus leaves for comfort and insect repellent.
9. **Snacks (Insects):**
Tankworm 10 per week
Mealworms (9-10, not exceeding 10), Superworms (cut off head or killed, not exceeding 6), Waxworms (medium/small size, 3-4), Silk Worm Pupae (half, live or cooked), Dubia Roach (adult, 1).**
*(Note: The mentioned feeder insects are common choices. Reduce quantities for gliders aged 2-4 months, and avoid catching any insects from outside for feeding. The suggested amounts are based on individual and community practices, serving as a reference. Excessive mealworm consumption may lead to black tooth .)*
*(Suggested feeding frequency: 3-4 times per week, ensuring each time does not exceed a moderate intake of proteins.)*
**Snacks:**
- Yogurt Drops (Brand: Exotic Nutrition), Dried Coconut (unsweetened, no additives), NUTRITION Fish Sticks
