Sugargliders , being tropical animals are used to being in 85 degree weather. This poses a problem for just become sugar glider owners when it becomes weather. Get one of your old socks and turn it inside out . Put the sock on a heating pad ( hide the cord so your sugarglider does not chew on it) . Now you have a little igloo to keep your sugarglider warm

Biotic and abiotic materials that allow sugargliders to use their instincts.
By Sara Lundy

One biotic material that allows sugar gliders to use their instincts is a tree. A sugar glider uses it's instinct to catch its prey or get away from a predator by leaping up to 200 feet tree to tree.
A abiotic material that allows sugar gliders to use it's instincts is dirt. One of the sugar gliders instincts is to hunt for food, and one of it's prey is the mealworms, a underground digger. The sugarglider uses it's instincts to catch prey and digs down through the earth to catch it's prey
