Page 59 Table of Contents Sugar Gliders are Marsupials Sugar gliders breed relatively easy in captivity. The female will increase scent marking to indicate breeding readiness to the male. The gestation period is only 16 days, at which time the infants make their way to the pouch where they attach to a nipple and stay for two months. Ten days after they emerge from the pouch they open their eyes. They wean a month after that, but remain in the parental nest.
Males help with the care and feeding of the babies.
