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.

How long do sugar gliders live if healthy?

In their native Australian habitat, if they can stay safe from predators and survive possible habitat loss, sugar gliders have a life expectancy of 10-12 years. Due to predation and other factors, the average is 4-6 years. This is because they are subject to predation by foxes, feral cats, quolls and owls. However, many sugar gliders will safely live out the full term of their natural life.

The potential lifespan for a sugar glider in captivity is 12-15 years. For the captive sugar glider, the most common causes of death seems to be household accidents. This includes things like drowning in the toilet, attacks by other pets, and so on. Another leading cause of death is poor diet, which causes many health problems. Many people that keep sugar gliders as pets, unfortunately, do not take the time to study their diet (which is very complex).
Sugar gliders tend to live for around seven or eight years.

If your glider's fur is uber smelly, get a box of huggies baby wipes and let the glider shimmy it's way through. Do that a few times a week until the glider is no longer smelly. Just remember that the glider needs to be warm after doing so. Let it hang out in your shirt to dry. :)
