The Sugar Glider is a gentle, social marsupial from Southern Australia. They glide from tree to tree using a membrane that stretches from their ankles to their wrists. Sugar gliders are a social animal living in the wild in colonies of usually 6 to up to 40 animals. Since they are a social animal they should not be raised as a single pet. They are much healthier and happier when raised in a group.
Sugar gliders are affectionate and very intelligent.
They make an excellent pet for the right family. Just like any other exotic pet they have some very special needs. Sugar gliders love human attention and they love to play. You need to bond with the little ones when you bring them home. Sugar gliders will form very strong bonds with their owners.
