Sugar Gliders or Petaurus Breviceps looks very similar to a North American flying squirrel, but they are not.  Nor are sugar gliders rodents.  Sugar gliders are marsupials, related to kangaroos and opossums. They are native to Australia and Indonesia.  Sugar gliders are nocturnal and are sensitive to light.  They are arboreal or tree-dwelling social creatures in the wild, preferring to live in colonies. However, in captivity, this would require a very large enclosure.

 These exotic animals are intelligent and loving.  They can make wonderful pets under the right conditions.  Sugar gliders' average lifespan is 10-12 years; however, it is not unusual that some live to 15 and 16 years of age. 

Sugar Gliders come in range of colors (White known as Leucistic and albinos, Standard Grays to Mosaic) While they look cute and cuddly, these are exotic pets and are Not suitable pets for small children. 

Sugar gliders do have scent glands that produce a musky odor that may or may not be offensive to some people.  with Proper Diet they quickly lose this strong odor and will only have mild odor.

 Sugar gliders require a large commitment of time (a minimum of 1-2 hours per day) and will change your lifestyle.  They require fresh foods every night and must have remaining food pulled every morning.  Cages, wheels and sleeping pouches must be cleaned (at least weekly).
Sugar gliders cannot be potty trained.They will pee and poo on you!

Sugar gliders have very sharp nails that will require trimming.  There are products on the market that will help to reduce or eliminate the need for nail trimming - sandpaper inserts designed specifically for the type of running wheel you purchase may help.

Sugar gliders are hearty creatures if well taken care of; however, nature is not perfect.  Genetic anomalies and illnesses can occur.  Accidents happen and sugar gliders can and do require veterinary care. Glider Can a proper Diet Can live very healthy Life span .

Sugar gliders can bite, They can draw blood.  However, a bonded sugar glider should not bite.  We believe that with proper bonding techniques, patience and love, most sugar gliders will bond to some degree. 

I would strongly urge anyone considering the purchase of a sugar glider to research thoroughly before doing so, But they do make wonderful sweet lovable pets .
