Squirrel gliders, which are small, gliding marsupials in the possum family, are not endangered, even though there are several endangered populations through their habitat along the east coast. Their total population is not known.
The native predators of the squirrel glider are owls, kookaburras and snakes. Quolls also prey on squirrel gliders. Since the time European settlement began in Australia, enemies of the squirrel glider have increased to include instroduced foxes, cats and dogs. People are a threat as they cut down the gliders' habitat.
YES, we own both the gliders and the southern flying squirrel, and the squirrel is by far way easier. That's because gliders are native to Australia and should not be kept as exotic pets.
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.
Yes they are legal but sugar gliders are not.

Sugar Gliders are Marsupials and are a member of the Petauridae family; there are 11 species that belong to this family. The members of this family consist of possums which are the closest relatives of the sugar gliders except for perhaps other types of gliders. The most immediate relatives are the five other gliders, also native to Australia. These include the Lesser glider, Greater glider, Squirrel glider, Mahogany glider (endangered) and Feathertail glider.
No, not in the wild. Sugar gliders are native to Australia.
Feathertail gliders are completely native to Australia alone.
Sugar gliders are not endangered, but they are protected in their native country of Australia.
In their native state, sugar gliders live in Australia.
