I am doing a report for school and I was wondering if you could answer some questions of mine and tell me some good sugar glider websites.
What is a female sugar glider called?
What is a male sugar glider called?
Do you know how sugar gliders get their food in the wild?

check out the "links" section of this website -- some of those are really great sources of information --
To answer your above question -- to my knowledge, the males and females are not referred to by a specific name (like a mare or stallion); however, they are marsupials (like kangaroos) and a baby glider is called a joey.
With regard to eating, Sugargliders forage at night (noctural) by leaping (gliding) from tree to tree (arborreal).
They eat a variety of food (omnivorous)and their diet consists mostly of tree sap (sugar), flowers and their nectar (more sugar), some plants, bugs (grubs, termites, crickets, maggots/mealworms) and fruit/berries (when available)

I haven't heard of a different name either.
In the wild they eat insects, fruits, the sap from trees, and small animals when they cna get them.
Here is a list of websites dealing with gliders in the wild. They should help you.
