Sugar Gliders

Sugar gliders actually do make good pets if they're suited to you. First, you should adopt two. Second, they don't smell bad if the cage is kept clean and they're on a healthy diet (Aka NOT PELLETS!). Yes, they do make noise though... Mine don't make much, but if yours make so much noise that they bother you, place the cage in an area of the house that is not in your bedroom.

Now, adopting sugar gliders. There are some sugar glider rescues out there, but I'd need to know your location to tell you which one you should look into.

Arizona is a legal state for sugar gliders, however check with your city for any local restrictions.

Sugar gliders play a big role in pollinating. Sugar gliders pollinate by going flower to flower and when they land on a flower they get honey particles stuck on their little feet ,and go to another flower , and stat to pollinate all over again.

Sugar gliders are omnivores. Their diet consists largely of sweet tree sap, nectar, fruit and flowers, but they also enjoy insects.

Sugar gliders come from Australia (including its island state of Tasmania), Indonesia, and Papua-New Guinea. They were originally native to Australia, but easily spread to other northern islands.

Climatic conditions preferred by sugar gliders include rainforests and bushland (both wet and dry sclerophyll forest). They can adapt to cool-temperate climates, such as that found in Tasmania, and warmer, humid climates of northern Australia, but they are healthiest in drier bushland rather than moist rainforest.

Sugar gliders reach sexual maturity at 7-10 months. The mating season usually occurs in August, but can extend from June to November. The dominant male is often the only male in the social group to mate, but it is the females who decide who he mates with. The male first approaches the female he is hoping to mate with and rubs his forehead's scent gland on her belly. If she accepts him, she then rubs her forehead on his belly, and they mate. The gestation period is short, only 15-17 days. The female births 1-3 underdeveloped young which are hairless, less than 0.5 g in weight, and only 5 mm in length. The young make their way into their mother's marsupium where they grasp onto one of four teats. There they remain for 60-70 days. Ten days after they emerge, their eyes open, and after a month they are ready to eat solid food.

Sugar gliders get most of their water from the foods that they eat, if they're fed a proper diet. Due to this fact, it might appear that the sugar gliders are not drinking much if you go by just the water bottle (or bowl) level alone.

Despite the fact that sugar gliders get most of their water from foods, it is still required to have at least one water bottle in the cage at all times.

In India u cant get sugar gliders...... It is not legal in India to keep sugar gliders as pets..... Moreover sugar gliders are very difficult to tame......

Sugar gliders shelter in tree hollows.

I would say NO because Sugar gliders cant swim and if you do put them in water they would be cold so what i would do would be taking a damp cloth and some mild cleaning thing that doesn't need to be rinsed or have water on it.i use a dry Sugar glider shampoo and also i hope your researching them and taking the time for them if your planning to get one or already have one.PS hope this helped alot.

No, sugar gliders are not illegal in Michgan. They are legal to own as pets and many exotic veterinarians treat them.

Because it could escape!

The least common breed of cat is actually referred to as as sphinx. It is a hairless cat and are very sweet, but in my friend Katie's opinion kind of gross. These cats are referred to in old Egyptian tales involving mummies, tombs, etc.

It can be bred by two sphinxes, by an ordinary cat and sphinx, or in rare cases by two regular cats!

If anyone has info on how sphinxes actually came to be, please edit my answer.

They are very smart creatures. If you bond with your sugar glider it'll remember your smell. Whenever it sees you they'll jump on your shoulder.

Yes, but only as a pet. if you want to become a breeder you must have a breeders license.

No, it is far too cold for gliders to survive in such an area.

They cannot survive in areas where it snows.

YES, we own both the gliders and the southern flying squirrel, and the squirrel is by far way easier.

That's because gliders are native to Australia and should not be kept as exotic pets.

Yes, sugar gliders are mammals - specifically, marsupials, i.e. pouched mammals.

They have fur that covers them, breathe through lungs and are warm-blooded vertebrates. Like all mammals except for monotremes, they give birth to live young and, most importantly for the classification of mammals, they feed their young on mothers' milk.Yes Sugar Gliders are mammals.

Sugar glider cages vary in cost.

You're generally not going to find a good one for less than $100, but it can cost even more than that. I would recommend getting the biggest and best cage you can afford.

Sugar gliders generally live in family groups of about 6-8. Such a group is known as a colony.

If you really want a sugar glider, you can make a PowerPoint Presentation. Include in the presentation the good things about sugar gliders, and what you will do to take care of it. Be creative! Use colorful pictures and backgrounds!

When you are finished, find a day that is good for you and your parents. Maybe during dinner on Saturday night? Once you find a day, present your work to your parents.

Hopefully, your parents will be impressed and agree to get you a sugar glider. That is the best way to do it. No need to wait until you're 18 and you move out!

Good Luck!
