Hi I am DJ
and I am your Guide
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.
