Sugar Gliders have amazing feet and arms, but mostly feet. It helps then climb all over the wall or your arms. If you are thinking about getting one, you should know that they like to fly and if you don't keep petting them when you hold them they jump. THEY ARE VERY VERY TINY ALSO.

How did sugar glider gets their name?
The "sugar" part of the sugar glider's name comes from the fact that these marsupials have a preference for sweet foods, even though fruits, nectar and saps are not the only thing they eat. The "glider" part of their name comes from the fact that they can glide from treetop to treetop (or power poles and other high points). They have a skin membrane which extends from their wrists to their ankles. When they launch out into the air, they spread their limbs and the skin membranes catch the air currents and allow them to glide to another level.

What types of vertebrate the sugar glider?
A sugar glider is a small, nocturnal marsupial of the possum family (not opossums) about 16cm-21cm in length, and native to Australia, as well as some islands of Indonesia and New Guinea. Sugar gliders live about 12-15 years in captivity, and 1-6 years in the wild, due to predation by other animals. They have black-tipped tails, a black line down their back, (ending with an arrow on the head) and have 1-3 joeys at a time. They come in a variety of colors, including albino (very rare), cinnamon, red-brown and, most commonly, grey. Like other gliders, sugar gliders are unique in that they have a membrane of skin - patagia-membrane - which stretches from the fifth "finger" of each hand to the first toe of each foot, which enables them to glide between treetops. They do not fly, but are capable of gliding up to 100m.
