The sugar glider uses tree crowns in eastern Australia. It spends the day in a shelter and moves between feeding sites at night. A membrane stretched between its limbs allows it to glide, crossing gaps between trees without descending to the ground.
It eats invertebrates and various plant foods, including sap and nectar. Their proportions change seasonally. A tree hollow serves both as a resting place and as a meeting point with other group members.
The young continue developing in the female's pouch and later remain in the nest. Scents help group members recognise one another.
