Sugar Gliders are marsupials from the rain forests in Australia, Indonesia and New Guinea.
They are arboreal (tree dwellers) and rarely if ever set paw on the forest floor. They have a
gliding membrane connected from their ankle to their wrist like that of a flying squirrel. Full grown
they are about 6" long with a 6" to 7" tail. Being nocturnal, they have big black eyes
that will immediately steel your heart away.
They live in colonies and are very communal. They bond with their people and will die without
attention. If you can't spend a LOT of time with your glider you should consider having two.
We start handling the joeys at about 2 to 3 days out-of-pouch (oop). They are carried daily
with increasing lengths of time. We will not let the joeys go until they are eating on their on.
It is best to do some reading before you decide to take a glider into your
home. They are not a pet for everyone. They require a lot of time and care. There will be some
links at the bottom of the page to some good sites for learning about these precious critters.
