Oh boy- does your glider need Help!!!!!!!
You are going to need a bigger cage and I mean much bigger. I have two in a a cage 2 by 2 by 5' - one needs just as much space and probbaly a friend to keep him company while you sleep.
As to food your diet will kill your new buddy really quickly unles you change it. Either try www.skinhorse.net/gliders and try ruth's diet or Bourbon's page http://www.angelfire.com/nb/sugarglider/
these will start you also www.sugarglider.net
keep going to web pages and keep reading. Gliders are labor intensive and long lived. I hope you are up to teh challenge as the person who had this glider before obviously was completely cruel to it be it unintentionally. Pleas ehelp your little guy now he needs change badly.
Keep asking q's it looks like you need lots of help

: I got my glider from an individual.They didn't tell me anything about it because I Guess They Didn't Know Much.I have been feeding it apples and cat food . I have it in a hamster cage , it is square and has thin bars.That is all i can really tell you.
