Hi-
Congrats for your new pet! Sugar Gliders are the best.
As for what you should feed her/him, they eat veggies and fruits, apples, oranges, peaches, grapes, etc. carrots, peas, green beans, lima beans, corn (don't feed alot of corn though because corn has lots of phospurus) And you shouldn't feed them cat food unless its a top quality brand such as Innova. They also need a source of protein crickets, mealworms, tofu, baby food. They also like low fat yogurt. ANd they must have fresh water every day.

Cage requirements: A large bird cage (the bigger the better) best would be plastic coated (or whatever its called I'm sure someone hear knows) and for toys, branches, (oak is poisonus to them) a pouch, and bird toys or just any kind of toy you'd think she's like. Good luck with your baby!

Jill :)
