Can a sugar glider take amoxicillin?
It is not a good idea to give your sugar glider (or any other animal) medication without the recommendation of an experienced vet.
What is the name of the pouch sugar gliders have?
Any marsupial's pouch (including that of the sugar glider) is called a marsupium.
Will a sugar glider ever work with a cairn terrier?
No. Terriers have the instinct of a "ratter". Even though a sugar glider is a marsupial and not a rodent, any type of terrier will not make that distinction. They are bred to flush out small animals. A sugar glider is likely to have a very short life span if it is anywhere near a terrier.
What is the height and length of a leucistic sugar glider?
Same as any other glider, Leucistic is just the color variation. around 5 inches in the body
What is the cross breed of the sugar glider?
The Sugar Glider is not a crossbreed; nor is it possible to cross it with any other animal. It is a marsupial which is native to Australia, although it is now also common throughout southeast Asia.
Is it illegal to have a sugar glider in Mount Pleasant?
If the question refers to any of the places named "Mt Pleasant" in Australia, then yes, it is illegal. It is illegal to keep sugar gliders anywhere in Australia because the sugar glider is a native animal and protected by law.
What body covering does a sugar glider use for survival?
Teeth, claws, and a stinky spray {kinda like skunks, only not as bad or strong}. The sugar glider does not emit any kind of spray in self-defence. In its natural habitat, its main defence is hiding in tree hollows.
Is there any way to get a license to own a sugar glider in California?
No. California has some of the strictest laws on exotic pets.
Is the sugar glider an exotic animal?
Sugar gliders are not regarded as exotic within Australia, because they are native to Australia. Sugar gliders are only exotic to countries outside of their native habitat. This would include the UK or the USA.
Do sugar gliders like tree leaves and bark?
This seems to depend on the type of leaves and bark given to the sugar glider, and of course the individual sugar glider. My own gliders love eucalyptus leaves, but I know of many gliders that do not. Before you attempt to introduce any sort of leaves and bark to your sugar gliders, please be sure that it is not toxic, and that it has been properly cared for (no pesticides).
Are sugar gliders color blind?
Sugar gliders do not actively camouflage. Their natural colouring varies from grey to shades of brown, and thus they are not easily seen when within their native habitat, especially since they are small, and move with quick, darting movements, but they do not actively employ any other methods of camouflage.
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.
