Remember to feed your sugar glider with their natural fresh diet, so that its elimination schedule can remain predictable. It is recommended that you house your pair of sugar gliders in a cage which is at least 24 W x 24 D x 36 H inches.

Of course, the bigger the cage, the better your pets will feel. If you can, make the cage as high as possible, as these marsupials love climbing and gliding. The spacing of the cage wire should be maximum half an inch wide, and you should choose a cage with horizontal bars which will allow your pet to climb up and glide down. You should add various toys, ladders, ropes, branches, and a closed exercise wheel to allow your pet to stay active, exercise, and feel happy. Line the bottom of the cage with wither fir or aspen shavings and clean them out at least once a week to avoid diseases and other problems with the animals.

Place the cage in a quiet place that is not drafty and is away from direct sunlight. The temperature in the room must be degrees Fahrenheit. Remember to place a nest, bag, or pouch or two on the top of the cage so your Sugar glider can sleep during the day. When you let the animals out of the cage, supervise them and ensure that the area has been pet-proofed. The Sugar glider is a sensitive animal which is very susceptible to stress and can self-mutilate if put under severe stress.

The Sugar glider is also prone to parasite and bacterial infections. The protozoan parasite called Giardia can cause lethargy, dehydration and weight loss in these animals. The Sugar glider can get infected through under washed fruits and veggies. In order to keep your Sugar glider healthy, you also need to ensure a proper balance of phosphorus and calcium.

Make sure that you locate a nearby veterinarian who specializes in exotic and especially in marsupials before going ahead and purchasing a Sugar glider. These small exotic animals are prone to a variety of other diseases and health conditions, traumatic injuries, organ failure, and cancers. The most common health problems found in captive Sugar gliders include obesity, dental problems, malnutrition, stress-related conditions, and metabolic bone disease.

Obesity in Sugar gliders can lead to lethargy, heart, pancreatic or liver disease and arthritis. This problem can be treated with properly portioned and balanced meals, exercise increase and other changes made to the conditions which the vet will recommend. Malnourishment can cause the Sugar gliders to become thin, dehydrated and week.

This will limit their ability to climb and can lead to traumas and broken bones and pale gums. Often these animals have low levels of calcium and blood sugar and suffer from anemia. If left untreated, malnutrition can lead to kidney and liver failure. Special precautions need to be taken to resolve this problem, including feeding the sick animal with a syringe, improving the diet, adding calcium supplements and housing in padded small cages to prevent injuries.

The metabolic bone disease leads to swelling and fractures of the bones and can even cause seizures. The symptoms are low calcium levels and high phosphorus levels. Dental disease in Sugar gliders often is a result of eating sugary and soft foods which cause the build-up of tartar and inflammation of the gums. It can lead to infections of the roots of the teeth, abscesses in the jaw and tooth loss.

A sign that your glider has dental problems is if it starts eating less, salivates excessively, loses weight and becomes lethargic.

An experienced vet will be able to sedate the animal so that it can be examined, and if necessary have the abscesses and infections treated. Antibiotic intake may be required as well. To prevent dental health problems, make sure that your vet does regular checkups of the teeth and gums of your pet. Stress-related illness can often occur in animals that are housed alone or which do not have a chance to sleep throughout the day.
