The ferrets would likely attack and kill the sugar gliders. Our ferret is the most gentle animal imaginable, has never been taken hunting or anything like that, yet the first time she saw a possum she went straight for its neck.
Whereas with dogs, even small dogs, she is just friendly and inquisitive.
Ferrets playing with dogs depends on several factors, such as size, the breed of dog, etc.
Sugar gliders and ferrets may not be compatible.

∙ 11y agoNo. Ferrets could possibly consider the sugar glider to be prey and attempt to kill it. Even if the ferret does not consider the sugar glider food, ferrets play roughly and may accidentally injure the sugar glider.

Can a sugar glider and a ferret play together?
I would not encourage them to play together. Ferrets see small animals as prey and may attack the sugar gliders. Even if the ferret does not see the sugar glider as prey ferrets play roughly. They like to wrestle and nip as they play and may accidentally hurt the sugar glider.
Can sugar gliders get along with cats?
It would be taking a huge risk to put them together to find out. Sugar gliders are small marsupials and cats and dogs would probably consider them prey and first kill them then perhaps eat them.Even if the dog or cat did not attack the sugar glider immediately, sugar gliders are fragile animals physically and emotionally. Stress can kill sugar gliders and putting one with natural enemies could well be fatal to it. Avoid putting any of them in unnatural, threatening, or frightening conditions.Cats have evolved over the millennia to be independent hunters and most will kill anything small and defenseless if given opportunity. Some do it for fun, and it matters little what training or upbringing they have had nor how well fed and loved they are when the predator instinct takes over.It is also in a dog's nature to prey upon smaller animals. Some dogs, however, (more so than cats) can be trained and trusted to restrain their prey drive, but others, and especially some from specific breed groups like terriers, can not have the predator instinct trained away.
What small animals are fun to play with?
cats, dogs, birds, rats, ferrets, mice and snakes
What do sugar gliders drink?
Sugar gliders get most of their water from the foods that they eat, if they're fed a proper diet. Due to this fact, it might appear that the sugar gliders are not drinking much if you go by just the water bottle (or bowl) level alone. Despite the fact that sugar gliders get most of their water from foods, it is still required to have at least one water bottle in the cage at all times.

Can a small dog and a ferret to play together?
Any dog that has any type hunting instincts might perceive a ferret as prey and might hurt or kill. Always closely supervise your ferret when around any other animals, never leave them alone. Advice from another contributor: I wouldn't suggest that dogs and ferrets play together. Ferrets tend to play rough and bite when they play. This is why ferrets have a tough skin. The ferret might bite the dog too hard and possibly hurt him.
Is it better to separate sugar gliders or keep them together?
If you have just 2 sugar gliders you should keep them together. This is because if you work or just dont have the whole day to play with them, they will have someone to be with. if you have a lot you might want to separate them into 2 cages..... But 1 should be plenty. As long as they arent squished in the cage (meaning having too many) then they will be okay. Hope this helped!
