There is no specific species known as a "little sugar glider".However, the conservation status of the sugar glider is common.
Yes. Predators and enemies of the sugar glider include native species such as quolls, eagles, kookaburras, owls and goannas, and introduced species such as cats, dogs and foxes.
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.
There are six different species of glider in Australia, and the sugar glider is just one of them. There are not different types of sugar glider. Since sugar gliders have become exotic pets for people overseas (not their native home of Australia, where they are fortunately protected and therefore may not be kept as pets), breeders have begun classing them by colour, including lecustic, ringtail, white tipped, albino, black beauty and white faced blonde. These are not species, however.Glider species include:Sugar gliderFeathertail gliderSquirrel gliderGreater gliderMahogany gliderYellow-bellied gliderOf these, the largest is the yellow-bellied glider.

Get an e-collar on the sugar glider to prevent the glider from self-mutilating, and then rush the sugar glider to an exotic vet immediately.
