Sugar Glider – Food, Care, and Enrichment for an Active Nocturnal Animal
Sugar gliders are social, intelligent, nocturnal animals that enjoy climbing, exploring, and resting close together. A good foundation starts with structure : a safe living environment, a consistent routine, and sufficient challenge. In this category, you'll find products to help with this—from food and snacks to practical items for enrichment and daily care. Just starting out, or looking to improve your routine? Then start with Sugar Glider food & snacks and build from there with comfort and activity. DRD Rodent Shop® has been a specialist since 2011 and selects products that are logical to use and fit the behavior of active climbers.
Work with a clear basis and use snacks mainly as a reward or enrichment.

Sugar gliders like to rest together. A nice, sheltered sleeping spot promotes peace within the group.
Tip: Choose materials that are sturdy and check for wear regularly.
Active evenings require variety: climbing, routes, searching and rewarding.
Combine food with enrichment: let them “work” (safely) for their reward.
Why this category for Sugar Gliders?
Sugar Gliders aren't "easy" pets: they're sociable, alert, and especially active at night. This means you need more than just food. You want a logical foundation (routine + safety) and plenty of activities to prevent boredom. With the right products, you can simplify care and provide your animals with more comfort and excitement in their enclosure.
What do you pay attention to when choosing care products?
Choose products that are practical, safe, and controllable : sturdy materials, no loose parts, and easy to clean. Sugar Gliders climb and "touch" a lot with their legs and mouths, so check regularly for wear and tear and for any loose parts. It's best to use food and treats according to a set routine, so you can maintain consistency in what you offer.
An important basis for a pleasant Sugar Glider stay
Think of three zones: rest (a sheltered sleeping area), routes (climbing/crossing), and activity (enrichment and feeding). Many owners find it helpful to link (part of) feeding to a challenge: hiding, offering it in a safe puzzle, or as a reward during contact moments.
