Need assistance for taking care of baby sugar glider pet ?

Question

hello. i got a baby sugar glider pet yesterday and it's really small.I guess he's only one or two months old. he's only about 6cm excluding his tale.

since i got it, i have not seen it eat or drink. it just sleeps. even if i hold it in my hand it still finds a comfy place in my hand to sleep. so i decided to mix yogurt with fruits and a bit of water and give it to him with a syringe.

is this normal? do u have any suggestions? thanks Ali

i also live in Malaysia so i don't have access to fancy supplementary food for sugar gliders.

p.s. right now my sugar glider (sugar is his name) is sleeping in my pocket :)

Sugar gliders are nocturnal animals. They play while we are asleep. And being a baby he is going to sleep a good bit more. My older brother's sugar glider loves tofu, meal worms, apples, and grapes.
