In their native Australian habitat, if they can stay safe from predators and survive possible habitat loss, sugar gliders have a life expectancy of 10-12 years. Due to predation and other factors, the average is 4-6 years. This is because they are subject to predation by foxes, feral cats, quolls and owls. However, many sugar gliders will safely live out the full term of their natural life.
The potential lifespan for a sugar glider in captivity is 12-15 years. For the captive sugar glider, the most common causes of death seems to be household accidents. This includes things like drowning in the toilet, attacks by other pets, and so on. Another leading cause of death is poor diet, which causes many health problems. Many people that keep sugar gliders as pets, unfortunately, do not take the time to study their diet (which is very complex).
Sugar gliders tend to live for around seven or eight years.
The sugar glider live in the canopy .
I think it depends on the wind. If there is not a lot of wind the glider won't fly for that long but if there is a lot of wind the glider will fly for longer. I think it depends on the wind.

Yes it does
If the female lasts long enough, she could give birth to a sugar glider.
Yes. The Greater Glider has a head and body length of 35 - 45cm, while its long tail measures another 45 - 60cm. It should be noted that Wikipedia incorrectly lists the Yellow-bellied Glider as the largest glider.
As a former Sugar Glider owner I trust sugarglidersrus.com They are a local business where I live and are ver good.
Many possums live in the Great Dividing Range in Australia. Species include the following, but the list is by no means exhaustive: * Common Brush-tailed possum * Ringtail possum * Mountain pygmy possum * Leadbeater's possum * Greater glider * Lesser glider * Feathertail glider * Sugar glider * Squirrel glider * Yellow-bellied glider
If they have water, sugar gliders may possibly survive 3.5 days, however, one should never live them without food and water. If a sugar glider is lost in the house, one should place small amounts of food and water all over the place till the animal is recovered. After 3.5 days without food a sugar glider will be very light. If the sugar glider receives a large amount of food after starvation, it may develop intestinal blockage and die very painfully after refeeding.
We are missing a pin for our comfy glider rocker. It just needs the one part. We live in Central Ontario.
The mahogany glider does not actually live in the rainforest. It prefers lowland sclerophyll forest which is relatively open bushland, primarily eucalyptus. The mahogany glider inhabits the canopy and sub-canopy of this bushland. However, it has also been found in lower levels of open bush around swampland.
