Step 1
Turn your sugar glider over. Look for a pouch on the belly, which appears to be a one-half inch slit. This means that your sugar glider is a female.
-
Step 2
Find out if your sugar glider is a male by looking for a furry scrotum. This will be located in front of the cloaca, which is the opening for the urinary and reproductive tract.
-
Step 3
Look for a bald spot on top of your sugar glider's head, which also signifies that your sugar glider is a male.
-
Step 1
Keep in mind that sugar gliders will begin breeding at the age of seven months.
-
Step 2
Maintain a cage with 2 well-fed sugar gliders of the opposite sex. Feed them a high-protein diet to them healthy. Their diets should include fresh fruit and protein rich foods, such as eggs.
-
Step 3
Expect your sugar glider to gestate for 16 days. Because sugar gliders are marsupials, their young will climb into the pouch and remain there for around two months.
-
Step 1
Expect that your sugar glider young won't emerge right away from its mother's pouch.
-
Step 2
Try to handle your sugar glider babies for 10 minutes every day. They will become accustomed to human touch and scent. This will help tame them.
-
Step 3
Expect your sugar glider young to open their eyes after ten days.
