Sugar gliders live in both warm and colder regions. They are native to Australia, and are most commonly found in both closed and open dry sclerophyll forest, and rainforest as well. In their native habitat, they can be found in the humid, tropical north, right down the eastern coast to the cooler, temperate areas of Tasmania.

Now there are many wild colonies in New Guinea and Indonesia as well. There are also many in America, as pets.


The glider is a type of possum, and the only possum used to really cold weather is the Mountain Pygmy possum, found in the alpine regions of Australia.

Climatic conditions preferred by sugar gliders include rainforests and bushland (both wet and dry sclerophyll forest). They can adapt to cool-temperate climates, such as that found in Tasmania, and warmer, humid climates of northern Australia, but they are healthiest in drier bushland rather than moist rainforest.

Sugar gliders cannot live in cold weather. They need a temperate to sub-tropical climate.
