Sugar gliders are sensitive, delicate creatures and should most definitely not be kept in bird cages. They will die. Sugar gliders need to be able to nest and hide in hollow logs, in complete privacy. Bird cages or, indeed, any other type of cage, is completely unsuitable as they need to be able to "glide" between tree-tops. they are a free, native animal that should never be caged. If they are recovering from an injury or trauma, they must have the security of a dark, enclosed place or they will surely die.

But, Sugar GLiders are kept as pets. If the cage was to have the right kind of coating, the right size, and vertical and horizontal bars, then the Suggie would be fine. My friend has two sugar gliders, Luna and Alfred.

How did the sugar glider get to fly?

Sugar gliders cannot fly at all. Apart from bats, no mammal is capable of free flight.Gliders are marsupials which can glide between treetops. As they launch, their forelimbs and hind limbs splay out, exposing gliding membranes which extend from the equivalent of their wrists to the knees, and allow them to glide between treetops and poles. Most types of gliders, or gliding possums, can glide up to 90 metres, but they cannot fly.

What types of vertebrate the sugar glider?

A sugar glider is a small, nocturnal marsupial of the possum family (not opossums) about 16cm-21cm in length, and native to Australia, as well as some islands of Indonesia and New Guinea. Sugar gliders live about 12-15 years in captivity, and 1-6 years in the wild, due to predation by other animals. They have black-tipped tails, a black line down their back, (ending with an arrow on the head) and have 1-3 joeys at a time. They come in a variety of colors, including albino (very rare), cinnamon, red-brown and, most commonly, grey. Like other gliders, sugar gliders are unique in that they have a membrane of skin - patagia-membrane - which stretches from the fifth "finger" of each hand to the first toe of each foot, which enables them to glide between treetops. They do not fly, but are capable of gliding up to 100m.
