Absolutely not. Australia has very strict laws about keeping its native wild animals. It is fortunate, for the gliders, that no species of glider is allowed to be kept as a pet in Australia.
In addition, there are only five species of glider in Australia:
- mahogany glider
- feathertail glider
- lesser glider (also known as the yellow bellied glider)
- greater glider
- squirrel glider

Where do all the sugar gliders live?
Gliders, of which there are six different species in Australia, live in bushland and rainforests in eastern and northern Australia. Habitat conditions preferred by gliders include rainforests and bushland (both wet and dry sclerophyll forest). They can adapt to cool-temperate climates, such as that found in the Tasmanian bushland, and warmer, humid bushland and rainforests of northern Australia. Most gliders are healthiest in drier eucalyptus bushland rather than moist rainforest. They prefer areas where there is a variety of Eucalypt species, and an understorey of acacias or wattles.

Do sugar glider have rabies?
It is guaranteed that any sugar gliders in their native country of Australia do not have rabies. Rabies is not present in Australia. Gliders of any species are extremely unlikely to get rabies, even if they are exposed to the disease outside of Australia. They are a type of possum, and like all possums, have a lower body temperature than other mammals, which means it is almost impossible for a glider to contract rabies.
Do sugar gliders migrate or hibernate?
no, because they are from Australia so they dont have to, because they stay in all warm temputures.
