What Is A Sugar Glider?

   

      Sugar Gliders are becoming one of the most popular pocket pets in the United States, and anyone who has ever seen one can easily tell you why. Besides being intelligent, playful and inquisitive, they are so darn cute! Being a highly social animal they are delighted to be in physical contact with its owner’s body and do need lots of attention….at least 2 hrs a day. They will sit on your shoulder, play in your hair and sleep in your shirt pocket. They don't have fleas, don't need shots, are relatively inexpensive to keep, and having one in your pocket is a sure-fire way to meet people and make new friends! Sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps) are marsupials native to Australia & Indonesia. Wild Sugar gliders are tiny gliding opossums who live in colonies of 10-40 and dwell in tree hollows or other nests made of vegetation. They spend the daylight hours cuddling in their nest. In the early evening and night you will find them foraging for food and protecting their tree. An adult sugar glider is about the size of a hamster or flying squirrel, approximately 5-7 inches long with a long fluffy tail that can be up to 8 inches. Their tails are used for balance and steering when gliding, but not much else. Gliders that are well cared for can live up to 12-15 years. The diet of sugar gliders consists mainly of fruits & vegetables and about 25-30% protein, usually in the source of pellets. They are nocturnal, so as pets they're most fun late in the evening and early in the morning, and they are capable of making an interesting variety of sounds. They are very clean little animals, and although they do have their own unique scents, they don't smell bad if their diet is correct.
