Sugar gliders are afraid of heat in summer. Sugar gliders have a thick layer of fur on their bodies and are very rich in subcutaneous fat, making them particularly susceptible to heat. When the summer temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, the sugar glider will be intolerable. It will jump up and down in the cage and become restless. If the temperature is higher, it will suffer from heatstroke, diarrhea, and lethargy.

How to raise sugar gliders in summer

1. The temperature in summer is high and the water in the body evaporates easily. Clean drinking water must be prepared for sugar gliders every day.

2. You can place the sugar glider's nest in an air-conditioned room or a well-ventilated place to speed up the air flow and avoid excessive temperature.

3. You can prepare some ice cubes, wrap them in a towel, and place them five centimeters away from the sugar glider's nest to cool down the sugar glider.

4. In summer, more attention should be paid to the diet of sugar gliders to ensure balanced nutrition, and fruits and vegetables should be fresh and clean.
