What it means when your female glider hisses?
By glider, are you referring to the sugar glider? IF so, hissing can have multiple meanings. Hissing can be a form of communication between sugar gliders, but it can also have other meanings. It could be a sign of fear, if the sugar glider is scared. It could also be indicative of problems, depending upon what the glider is doing while hissing (ie. if she is urinating while hissing, this is a sign of a UTI). Also, some female gliders hiss a lot while in heat.
Do sugar gliders and Tasmanian devils live in the same environment?

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 happens if the sugar glider baby is exposed?

It's best to stick to their primary diet of fruits, vegetables, and specialized glider pellets to ensure their health and safety. Always consult with a veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations for your sugar glider.
What is the average length of a sugar glider?
The average length of a sugar glider is about 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 centimeters) from nose to tail. Their body itself typically measures around 5 to 6 inches (12 to 15 centimeters) long, while the tail can add an additional 5 to 6 inches. Sugar gliders are small, nocturnal marsupials known for their gliding ability.
Is the Greater Glider the largest glider on earth?

Which species of possum is able to fly?
No species of possum is able to fly. In fact, no marsupial is able to fly. However, there are many species of Gliders - small marsupials, similar to possums, which 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. The only mammal capable of actual flight is the bat.
