The diet of the honey possum has been studied in the field and laboratory. In the field, animals were associated with plant assemblages having overlapping flowering phenologies which resulted in a continuous local supply of nectar and pollen. Nectar provides the animals with a carbohydrate source whilst other nutritional requirements probably come from pollen. The contents of most pollen ingested is either fully or partly digested during its 8-12 hour transit through the gut.
