Usually 1-3.
It varies. Some my have 2 per year or one. The litter usually has 2 or 3 joeys (sugar gliders). Max 4.
No, sugar gliders are not illegal in Michgan. They are legal to own as pets and many exotic veterinarians treat them.
I think it depends if there are many people selling sugar gliders it may be cheap if there is only one store/person selling sugar gliders in that area it may be more expensive.
It is recommended to get at least two sugar gliders as pets, as they are social animals and thrive in pairs or small groups.

The amount would depend upon how many sugar gliders are in a cage. I would cut it in half for a pair of sugar gliders. Also remember to balance it with other foods.
Yes. Foxes are an introduced species into Australia, and deadly for many Australian native species, including the sugar glider. Fortunately, sugar gliders are tree-dwellers and foxes are ground-dwellers so there is some measure of protection for the gliders.
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).
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.
An ocelot can have about 1 to ten kittines at a time
Sugar gliders contain two chromosomes. There are two alleles for every gene, so depending on which one is passed down from the parents will determine the color and other traits of the sugar glider.
A sugar glider is a wild animal and should not be kept in a cage. Many others disagree with this statement, preferring instead to indulge their personal fancies for keeping such an exotic pet and ignoring the needs of the animal. Like it or not, it is a form of cruelty to keep sugar gliders. It is interesting that in Australia, the sugar gliders' country of origin, Australians themselves have not stooped to this cruel practice of caging sugar gliders. Only those with licences to maintain wildlife sanctuaries, or to care for injured wildlife, keep sugar gliders in specially equipped enclosures.
