How long is a sugar glider pregnant?

Answer 1

its actually about 2 months. once the joey's are born they make the 5 minute journey to the mothers pouch where they stay for nearly 2 months. when they are ready to emerge. they're eyes will still be closed for about 10 days. they will still slip they're head into mom's pouch to nurse but will ride on her back till the eyes are open.

Answer 2

Sugar gliders are marsupials so their internal gestation period is short, a little over 2 weeks. However, they are then moved to the pouch to continue evolving, which takes about 60 - 70 days.

Answer 3

The sugar glider is a marsupial and like most marsupials has a very short gestation period. It is about 16 days at which time the joey will make their own way to their mothers pouch.

Once in the pouch they attach themselves to a nipple and remain in the pouch for about 8 weeks. After the 8 week period they begin to emerge from the pouch but just for a little while at a time. It takes them up to a week to fully emerge from their mothers pouch.

On the first day you may only see a foot and then the entire hind end of the glider. It will usually take about a week before they let go of the nipple and fully emerge from the pouch. If you try to remove them or handle them before they fully emerge you can cause injury to both the joey and the mother and probably kill the baby.

Answer 4

According to Life of Marsupials By C. Hugh Tyndale-Biscoe, CSIRO Publishing 13-16 days

Answer 5

Answer 7

Answer 8

it takes about an hour

Answer 9
