Introduction about Sugar Glider

This is a female Sugar Glider , its name Bibi .Its one of my favourite pets .Sugar gliders can be easily found in Australia and Indonesia cause they were native in eastern and northern mainland  . Its has a blue grey in color with a darker stripe on their back . Sugar glider is a nocturnal animal meaning they normally sleep at day and very active at the night time .  Sugar Glider is a omnivore as they are eating insect and vegetable , example like earthworm or carrot . Sugar Glider is tame animal ,  they not a dangerous animal and they din't afraid of people . Mother Sugar Glider similar like kangaroo as they also put they baby into they pouch . Sugar glider life expectancy is about 10 to 15 years old . Sugar Glider are active and very social animals as they don't live alone . If they live alone without  partners they will become depressed , which can cause it to die . Sugar glider  have a strong smell sense , they will recognize whether you're a owner or stranger . If a stranger come to approach  the sugar glider , the sugar glider will hide back to they own living room to protect their own self  .  Sugar glider  look like flying squirrel but sugar glider doesn't fly , its just 'glide' , they will 'glide' by leaping off something to a place as they spread out thier skin called a patagium that extends between their front and back leg by using their long tails to steer help them 'glide' to over 100 meter , its can from a high tree to another tree .

    1. Hazmi : Its quite easy to know which is male and female once their reach maturity . Female sugar glider will have a pouch on their bellies and males will have a bald spot on their top head . If you interested buying one you can find at some pet shop , some of the pet shop are selling the price is RM350 if i'm not wrong

  2. They behaviour is not same , normally female will chase away or bite the male. Is a part of maiting ritual , if it gets to rough you may have to seperate them for a few days.
