Fresh eucalyptus branches and chew sticks sugar gliders are the new hit for healthy treats. This Eucalyptus branch is native to them and they can't get enough. They LOVE LOVE LOVE them -- also very good for them and acts as a bug repellent in the cage. These branches are from the original gum tree, not the kind of eucalyptus you see at Christmas time in flower arrangements. Here's where I get mine . Your sugar glider will love you forever! I also offer these sticks to my Parakeets & Conures -- they just can't get enough and keeps them busy for hours! Fresh cut Eucalyptus Branches, cut into 4 inch lengths and packaed 10 sticks per pack, and shipped direct to your door. Sugar gliders have a sweet tooth - their diet consists of flower nectar, acacia gum, eucalypt sap and insects. One study of a Victorian population showed that individuals spent about 43% of their foraging time feeding on gum, 12% on eucalypt sap and 28% on searching for invertebrates. Common to the forests of Asia and Australia, Eucalyptus is a staple of Sugar glider diets. We have harvested fresh eucalyptus branches from the eucalyptus forests of Northern California, and packaged for use in pet Sugar glider cages. Place one or more of the Eucalyptus sticks in you Sugar gliders food dish or stick them between the bars of the cage. Your sugar glider will lick and chew the sap from the branches.
