∙ 13y agoDue to the fact that sugar gliders are native wildlife in Australia, they are not legal to own as pets.
Some individuals in Australia are able to get permits for owning them by contacting local government offices, by registering as native wildlife carers.
If other people have permits, and they are not registered carers or established wildlife sanctuaries, their permits are not legal.

∙ 13y agoQuarantine laws would place restrictions on overseas sugar gliders.
Although sugar gliders are native to Australia (where it is quite illegal to keep them as pets), sugar gliders coming from overseas would need to be placed in quarantine for some months before being permitted to live with their owners. This is because there are diseases and parasites overseas which are not present in Australia.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to bring your sugar glider into Australia without declaring it. It is highly likely to be discovered, and subsequently humanely destroyed.
