A LITTLE INTRODUCTION
Small body.
Big personality.
Sugar gliders are small, tree-dwelling marsupials. Their name comes from their preference for sweet foods and their ability to glide between trees using a skin membrane that stretches between their limbs.
They are primarily nocturnal and naturally social, spending time with other members of their group.
QUICK FACTS
Designed for tree life.
Natural gliders
A furry membrane between their limbs helps them glide from tree to tree.

RESPONSIBLE CARE
What a healthy life needs.
Keeping a sugar glider is a serious long-term responsibility. Always use guidance from an exotic-animal veterinarian.
