yea as usual i saw something forsale and had to buy it
got 2 females and a male, the females are rather quite but the male comes out as soon as he knows im there and if i open the door to put food in etc he just runs up my arm to my shoulder, i havent got many good photos yet but heres a start ill get a few close ups of the male today when i get him out
and if anyone on here has or has had gliders before can u please tell me what u were feeding them? the lady i got these from gave me her diet that she made for them, but everyone has there own things etc so id like to hear some more

Hi, yes I have 4 Sugar Gliders at the moment, they do become addictive very quickly.
I take mine to a specialist native animal vet who used to work at Healesville Sanctuary, and he told me recent evidence suggests they eat a lot of vegetables and insects in the wild and of course nectar and sap, but not much fruit at all usually, so he suggested I try follow this also.
I feed mine a "nectar mix" which I make up myself, it's made of:
1 packet of Farex baby cereal (original flavour)
400-500ml of normal honey
100-150g of wombaroo small carnivore mix
2 eggs
and a tiny bit of water
I mix this all together very well until it is a paste, then freeze it. That way you can use a spoon and take off what you need each night, mix it with warm water and stir it up until it is around nectar consistancy, my sugar gliders absolutely love it!
I also feed them all types of vegies, like peas, beans, sweet corn (which they can't get enough of), broccoli, etc. Also most insects and grubs, such as: roaches, crickets, grasshoppers, worms, etc. And the (very) occasional fruit like apple, grape and orange.
Your babies are very cute! 
I don't know if it is just by chance, but from what I've experienced and also heard, the females generally seem to be more flighty than the males. Do you breed them? I have bred mine once so far.
I don't think we can have Squirrel gliders in Victoria, but they are basically just bigger sugar gliders, so I dont mind too much. Hope my info helps, its always so great to find a fellow sugar glider owner in Australia.

thankyou so much for your diet!
yea my squirrels are just bigger then the sugars
i have noticed that the females are more flighty then the males! i think the males seem to trust people alot more also
my partner use to breed sugars and squirrels and then he stopped, now we got the pair of squirrels and the trio of sugars and were expecting them to breed this yr
ill keep u up to date with how i go with it!
i no what u mean there arnt many people around to talk about them with

Yeah I would love to see any pictures you have, I love all gliders!
As for the diet, what did the lady that used to own these give them? If you any going to make any drastic changes, it is usually advisable to do it very gradually.

Awwww, those squirrels are adorable, especially that little female, how cute!
That diet the previous owner used is pretty good, I would probably just stick to that, its probably even better than mine.
"Marz" on here is a huge source of knowledge about anything to do with sugar gliders.
Oh and I forgot to mention, they also love eucalpt brances to chew on and flowers and blossums also.
