The sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a small, omnivorous, arboreal, and nocturnal gliding possum belonging to the marsupial infraclass.

The common name refers to its preference for sugary nectarous foods and ability to glide through the air, much like a flying squirrel.

They have very similar appearance and habits to the flying squirrel despite not being closely related, an example of convergent evolution.

The scientific name, Petaurus breviceps, translates from Latin as "short-headed rope-dancer", a reference to their canopy acrobatics.

A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae, in the Eulipotyphlan family Erinaceidae.

There are seventeen species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and in New Zealand by introduction.

There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to the Americas (the extinct genus Amphechinus was once present in North America).

Hedgehogs share distant ancestry with shrews (family Soricidae), with gymnures possibly being the intermediate link, and have changed little over the last 15 million years.

Like many of the first mammals, they have adapted to a nocturnal way of life.

Hedgehogs' spiny protection resembles that of the unrelated porcupines, which are rodents, and echidnas, a type of monotreme.

Squirrels are members of the family Sciuridae, a family that includes small or medium-size rodents.

The squirrel family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots (including woodchucks), flying squirrels, and prairie dogs amongst other rodents.

Squirrels are indigenous to the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa, and were introduced by humans to Australia.

The earliest known squirrels date from the Eocene period and are most closely related to the mountain beaver and to the dormouse among other living rodent families.

Nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction of nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism.

It includes food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion.

Mealworms are the larval form of the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor, a species of darkling beetle.

Like all holometabolic insects, they go through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

Larvae typically measure about 2.5 cm or more, whereas adults are generally between 1.25 and 1.8 cm in length.
