You might have heard that there is a bonding (or taming) process you need to implement when introducing a sugar glider to their life as a companion animal.
So, what are the needs of sugar gliders? How do I form a bond with my sugar glider? Our Huntersville vets recommend taking the time to learn about this animal and their requirements before deciding to bring one home. They are very caring, social, and curious animals who often form lifelong close bonds with their families.īut it's important to understand that sugar gliders are pets that require a great deal of time and care. Sugar gliders can make great exotic pets for a dedicated owner and you can purchase them from shelters, pet stores, and breeders across the United States. Wild sugar gliders live in groups of 6-10 and are very social creatures that live an average of 6 to 7 years. Wild and "classic" sugar gliders have a distinctive black dorsal stripe and a white belly, however, the ones that are bred in captivity can have many different colors and patterns on their fur.
Sugar gliders are nocturnal animals, so they are most active during the night and on average they weigh between 2.5 and 5.5 ounces.
SUGAR GLIDER DIET SKIN
They have pouches for carrying their young and folds of skin that stretch from their wrists to their sides that lets them glide between trees when they are in the wild. Although sugar gliders look like rodents, they are actually marsupials just like kangaroos and koalas.
