Chinchillas are larger, furry mammals in Order Rodentia. As such, they have rodent-like qualities.
Hedgehogs are smaller, quill-covered mammals in the Order Erinaceomorpha.
Both animals have differing lives, nutritional needs, behaviors, etc

∙ 14y ago* The squirrel glider is much larger than the sugar glider - almost twice its size. * There are far fewer squirrel gliders than sugar gliders. * The squirrel glider has a larger, bushier tail. * The squirrel glider's range extends further inland than that of the sugar glider. * The squirrel glider, on the whole, has been less able to adapt to habitat loss and land clearing than the sugar glider has. * The markings on a squirrel glider's face tend to be sharper and more obvious.

Does a sugar glider belong to the squirrel or mouse family?
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.
What are other names for sugar?
There are no other names for sugar gliders. There are, however, five other varieties of glider which are related to sugar gliders. These include the Feathertail glider, Mahogany glider, Greater glider, Yellow-bellied glider and Squirrel glider. People have made up names for sugar gliders such as "sugar babies" and "honey gliders", but these and other similar names are not legitimate names for sugar gliders.
Difference between homologous structures and analogous?
Homologous structures are any structures that have similarity and come from the same lineage. This can be seen in the forelimbs of mammals. Analogous structures are very similar but come from different ancestors. This can be seen in the North American flying squirrel vs the Australian sugar glider. They both have similar features but come from 2 different locations. In fact, the Australian sugar glider is more related to the kangaroo than the flying squirrel
How fast can a sugar glider climb?
Sugar gliders and other gliders (small marsupials of Australia) do not fly. The only mammal capable of free flight is the bat.Gliders glide by means of skin membranes. They have a membrane of skin which stretches from their wrists to their ankles, which enables them to glide between treetops. They do not fly but, depending upon the species are capable of gliding between 50m and 80m. They must always launch out from higher points such as treetops or power poles.

Can sugar gliders fly?
No. Apart from bats, no mammal is capable of free flight. However, Gliders - small marsupials in the possum family - can glide between treetops. Varieties include the Sugar Glider, Feathertail Glider, Greater Glider, Squirrel Glider, Pygmy Glider and Yellow bellied Glider. As they launch, their forelimbs and hind limbs splay out, exposing gliding membranes which extend from the equivalent of their wrists to the knees, and allow them to glide between treetops and poles. Most species can glide up to 90 metres, while the squirrel glider has been recorded at 100m.
What are the differences between an Australian and an Indonesian sugar glider?
There is no difference. The only difference is that it is illegal to take Australian wildlife. Most of the pet sugar gliders in the US have come from Indonesian stock.
