General comments: The Sugar Glider, also called the Flying Sugar, is a small gliding possum, native to eastern and northern mainland Australia, New Guinea, and recently Tasmania.
The Sugar Glider is around 16 to 20cm long, with a tail almost as long as the body. It weighs between 90g - 150g. The fur is grey, with black and cream patches at the base of its grey ears, and its mouth is short and rounded.
The Sugar Glider can occupy any area where there are hollow trees for shelter and sufficient food. Its natural diet is sap of acacias and certain Eucalyptus trees, nectar, pollen, and arthropods.
The Sugar Glider is protected by law in Australia, where it is illegal to keep them as pets, or to capture or sell them without a licence. Where legal, the Sugar Glider is not difficult to breed in captivity under the right conditions. In the United States, keeping Sugar Gliders as pets is illegal in some states, including California, Georgia and Hawaii, with many other states requiring a permit. The Sugar Glider is a popular pet because of its lively and abnormal nature, and when given plenty of attention, it bonds well to human companions. The Sugar Glider is a fun, active animal, that brought much pleasure to me when I first saw one on a recent holiday to Australia, and I had serious thoughts about buying one back in the UK, but I thought it would be unfair to take it out of its natural home.
