Like all marsupials, sugar gliders have very undeveloped babies. These joeys crawl into the mother's pouch where they attach to a teat, which swells in their mouth to secure them. The joeys then continue their development in the pouch.

∙ 13y agoYes. Squirrel gliders are marsupials, one of six gliders found in Australia. The female has a pouch in which she rears her young.
