Sugar gliders can glide in the range of 100 - 150 feet. This makes them superior to flying squirrels. Sugar glider body construction is unique in itself. That's why a sugar glider needs special care and attention.
Sugar gliders in America are known to have been imported from Indonesia, and not Australia. This 150 gm of pet owns a very soft fur which is gray in color. Its underbelly is white and a black stripe runs from the nose through the neck right across the back. Some species also have small black stripes running down the legs.
Sugar glider face resembles to that of a bat. However, large difference lies here - sugar glider looks very beautiful and cute.
Sugar glider can create a variety of sounds - chirp, bark, crab, and what not. Never try to put the glider in a cage. It is a neat and clear formula for the death of this cute and loving pet. Try to build a place of comfort, more of a house than a cage. Your sugar glider will feel very comfortable there. Still, if you feel that a cage is needed, it should be large enough to offer adequate space to the animal. There should be a swing and a stick for the pet to have some playing around. Ensure that the cage has litter tray to keep it hygienic.
Sugar glider food must be balanced in terms of water, protein and calcium. Don't overfeed your sugar gliders otherwise they will be smelly. Also, give them glider food, and not the people food.
