Sugar Gliders are an exotic animal that are gaining in popularity as a household pet. They can be a lot to handle. It is not recommended that small children have them as pets. They do require some one on one attention. But with the proper care they will make the best, lovable pet you ever had.
Sugar Gliders are a highly social animal. They will bond easily with humans. But they will need a lot of attention in order to survive. It has been known that gliders will actually die if they are neglected by their owners. They do enjoy being carried around in a shirt pocket. Even if you have two gliders they will both require the same amount of attention.
Sugar Gliders carry their babies in pouches. They are marsupials. Gliders can live up to 15 years. About the same length of time as a pet dog. They may resemble a flying squirrel, but they are not even in the same family. Squirrels do not carry their young in a pouch. One other popular marsupial is a kangaroo.
Gliders get their name from the fact that they love sweets. Such as nectar and sap. Also their name comes from the fact that they can glide.
