Alder was kept illegally as a pet by a couple along with several other sugar gliders. When the couple split up, the animals stayed with the man, but he could not give them proper care. When he noticed one of them was pregnant, the man decided to find another home for the animals. Now they can enjoy their new home in a spacious enclosure with appropriate care.

Where does it feel at home?

The sugar glider is a real tree-dweller. It is found in New Guinea and Australia.

What does it like to eat?

They prefer to eat the tree sap of the eucalyptus tree and the acacia. They bite off the bark of the trees. Besides tree sap, they also eat nectar, pollen, insects and larvae.

Fun fact:

The sugar glider is capable of gliding flights. They can bridge a distance of up to 60 metres. The distance depends on the height from which they jump off.
