Any marsupial's pouch (including that of the sugar glider) is called a marsupium.
Really sexualy, but the baby is born pre-mature and crawls into the pouch. the sugar glider IS a marsupeal
As in a limb showing while the glider's joey is still in the mothers pouch? This means that the mom is far enough along now that you should expect to see the joey out of pouch within a week.
It stay in the stomach for 16 day (2 weeks and 2 days) and is in the pouch for70 days (10 weeks)
It is perfectly natural for a sugar glider to be afraid of people in the start. All that you can do is go slowly, and give the glider time to adjust. Talk to it, give it licky treats (such as honey or applesauce), carry it in a bonding pouch, and just generally spend time with it.
In my experience, after the baby is out of the pouch, 8 weeks they can go to new home.To clarify, the eight weeks doesn't start until the baby is out of the pouch.
The sugar glider is a marsupial
Sugar bears are actually sugar gliders. Female sugar gliders have a pouch, whereas male sugar gliders do not. Male sugar gliders have "poms", whereas female sugar gliders do not. Also, the male sugar glider, if unneutered, will develop a bald spot upon his head, whereas the female sugar glider does not develop a bald spot.
When they can fit in the pouch anymore. When you see that the mother tries to tuck them back in and their butt still stick out, it's time the baby needs to sleep outside.

After birthing, the mother will carry the joey in her pouch for about nine weeks, and it will need to remain with her thereafter for about eight weeks.
