Sugar Gliders: Pouch
built 607 days ago
Sugar gliders have what is known as a gliding membrane, otherwise known as a sugar glider pouch. When the creatures run to full speed, they jump and actually float on these membranes, using them in many ways like a parachute. The creature extends its entire body in a tight knot and literally drifts over the air captured underneath its sugar glider hammock. Witnessing a glider take flight is a profound and exciting experience.

Most sugar gliders will begin breeding somewhere between seven months to a year of age. Like kangaroos, gliders have a very short gestation period of 16 days after which they give birth to one to three hairless offspring that are smaller than a bee. The babies crawl up the fur of the abdomen, enter the mother’s pouch and attach to a nipple where they remain for approximately two to three months. Approximately ten days after emerging from the pouch, the babies open their eyes and a month later they are ready to wean. Note: A license is required to breed sugar gliders.

As they love to climb, you must provide plenty of opportunity to climb, ladders, ropes, and even bird toys are good if you cannot find actual toys for sugar gliders. They do require a place to sleep, which should be either a nest box or pouch. Because they tend to urinate in their bed you may want to get 2 pouches, so you can wash one and use the other. They may enjoy a wheel similar to what is used for hamsters.

The sugar glider habitat should ... contain non-toxic, live fruit tree branches, acacia branches, and glider-safe eucalypt branches, as well as perches, toys, and at least two glider-safe pouches for sleeping.
