The pathogenesis of hemochromatosis in animals remains unclear, but it has been suggested that some commercially available food for sugar gliders containing excessive amounts of iron and vitamin C may induce the disease. The pathological characteristics of hemochromatosis in this species were documented for the first time. The meaning of SUGAR GLIDER is a small, primarily nocturnal, arboreal, marsupial possum (Petaurus breviceps of the family Petauridae) of Australia. No sugar glider cases with hemochromatosis have been reported. It’s important to consider a range of factors when choosing a cage for your sugar glider including size, material, accessibility, and safety. Sugar glider need plenty of room as they love to climb, jump, and glide. Although they require some work, sugar gliders. They require fresh fruit daily and a reasonably larger cage. These findings led to the diagnosis of hemochromatosis. Sugar gliders are social, active animals that sleep during the day and are active during the night. Sugar gliders can live up to 15 years in captivity. Variably amounts of hemosiderin deposition was observed in the heart, lungs, spleen, and kidney. Histopathologically, hepatocellular degeneration and necrosis, severe deposition of hemosiderin in Kupffer cells and hepatocytes, bridging fibrosis, and regenerative nodules were observed in the liver. The sugar glider is a tree-dwelling Australian native marsupial, found in tall eucalypt forests and woodlands along eastern NSW. Published information on Sugar Gliders is sparse, but more is coming available as we continue to see them as pets/patients. Some medications were administered, but the animal died 10 months after the first presentation, and a necropsy was performed. They nest in groups of up to seven adult males and females and their young, all of. A 14-year-old, male sugar glider presented with lethargy, anorexia, diarrhea, and paralysis of the hind limbs, and ultrasonography showed possible liver dysfunction. Sugar gliders are extremely active animals that can glide up to 45 meters.
