Facilitate them to glide through the trees. Now they are kept as pets because they are cute, clingy, and can be carried around, and they are known as "Xiaomi" and are popular all over the world. Aliases:

Honey kangaroos. They are dressed in furry coats, have thin, pointed ears, large, round eyes, are light and petite, and have a flattering appearance, and love to get close to people. As a result, the sugar glider has become a popular pet today.

The first thing to pay attention to when breeding honey gliders is that this small animal is sensitive to pesticides, poisonous plants, and direct sunlight, so these aspects must be avoided. The second is the choice of the environment in which it lives, the bottom grid of the cage should not be too large, the spacing should be about one centimeter, and then there is not to use a round hole-like nest, to choose a sleeping bag made of cotton material is more comfortable, and you can not use some towel cloth, because such fibers will also be easy to hurt the honey glider. In terms of food mixing, we must pay attention to balanced nutrition, 75% of the food nutrition can be vegetables and fruits, and the other 25% can be various proteins and trace elements.

and minerals, with particular attention to calcium supplementation.

<> most important thing when raising sugar gliders is to keep them warm. Honey gliders are mainly native to tropical and coastal areas, and the average annual temperature is high, so care should be taken to keep them warm when raising them in other places. In autumn, winter and spring, when the temperature cools down, a warming lamp should be placed on the stall of the sugar glider.

In addition to creating a warm and comfortable environment, young honeygliders may have diarrhea when changing their living environment, and they can also be fed some apples to help their droppings form. Sugar gliders are nocturnal animals.

They usually move at night, so the daily feeding time can be selected at night. Adult males will emit a scent, at which point sterilization is recommended. Ligation not only solves the odor problem, but also effectively prevents sugar glider baldness.

When feeding, you must pay attention to safety issues, do not let yourself get hurt, and also feed the sugar glider with high-quality feed, because this helps the healthy growth of the sugar glider, and when feeding, you must pay attention to the temperature problem, do not let the sugar glider frostbite, but I think the most important point is that when raising the sugar glider, you must pay attention to environmental problems, and never let the sugar glider grow in a very poor environment.

Be sure to choose the right breeding density, this animal is generally active at night, to choose a favorite food for this animal, and then try not to accept direct sunlight or sawdust toxic and harmful plants when breeding, the density of the cage should be grasped at about one centimeter, try not to choose a nest with a round hole opening.
