Mine tends to hoover up anything the gliders drop (he lives at the bottom of their cage). He loves oats, as well, and I sprinkle oats on his food once a week or so.

They are very easy to sex, the male has a penis about 3-4cm up from the butt end, sort of like a belly button! whereas the females have a little tuft right in front of the butt. My current litter are 3 weeks old now and very easily sexable even at that age, so I am suprised the breeder did not sex it.

They're not that easy to breed hence the high demand and low supply. I've had a 50/50 survival rate on the litters. How old is yours? One of the important things is that you can't breed a virgin female after 18 months without significant increase in the change of breaching due to the pelvis alignment, so it's best to raise them young and crack the virginity before a year or so... and assume that the first litter has only a 20% chance of survival, very sad.
