No, they do not they are marsupials. They are able to glide because of their membrane that extends from the fifth finger to the first toe. When they stretch their legs out while jumping it allows the membrane to be stretched out along with it which allows them to glide 50-150 meters.

Sugar gliders do not have wings. They have a membrane of skin that extends from their ankles to their wrists, which enables them to glide. They cannot fly. Indeed, no marsupial can fly. The only true flying mammal is the bat.

This membrane of skin is called the Patagium. With this, some species of gliders can glide up to 250 feet, or 60m.
