There are probably millions of sugar gliders left in the world. They are abundant in their native habitat of Australia, and they have been introduced to New Guinea, New Zealand and Indonesia.

In addition, these delicate creatures have been taken as exotic pets overseas, where many have been released into the wild when their owners have tired of them.

The population of the sugar glider is not known. They are listed as "Common" in their native Australia, and they have spread to Asia and to other countries where they are kept as exotic pets.

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).


Why are sugar gliders in danger?

Sugar gliders are quite common. There is always the danger of man invading the sugar gliders natural habitat, and destroying it's home land. That is probably the greatest threat to gliders in the wild. In captivity, some gliders are still suffering due to their owners lack of knowledge about this special companion. Gliders can suffer many health problems if not fed the proper diet, socialized, and not given enough room to exercise properly.
