Sugar glider not eating? Are they gender specific?

I bought a baby sugar glider yesterday. I’ve been holding her constantly except when I went to bed and she’s doing pretty well I think- she’s already jumping back to me when I set her down. I’ve been offering her food- carrots and corn so far, but she won’t touch them. I left some in her cage last night when she was active but shes still didn’t touch any. Is there any food they love I can try to start her off on?

Also, she doesn’t mind when girls hold her, but she bites and starts crabbing if men hold her- are some gliders gender specific?
Natz- i wasn’t planning on keeping her diet like this. I’ve researched what they can eat and carrots and corn is acceptable. I’m wondering what would be good to start her off on.

Sugar gliders Bowel and Bladder habits?

My sister has a 10 mo. male,sugar glider.The sugar glider has increased in urination and bowel movements to less than every 30 minutes. Thus, the overall frequency between urination has increased in the past month. The diet remains pretty consistent with daily blueberries, corn, tofu, papaya, yogurt sweet potato and apple.

Is this increase in bladder habit normal?
Is he marking his territory?
If he was neutered would this decrease the amount of urination?
Do you have any other suggestions regarding this matter?

I appreciate your help.
