• Appearance ~ Most sugar gliders are around 5-6 inches in body length with a tail around 8 inches long.  They have a super soft, fine fur that is normally various shades of grey with a black stripe running from their nose down the length of their back with a white or cream underside.  They do  come in other colors, such as red or cinnamon, brown, blonde, white-faced, white(Leucistic), albino, mosaic, champagne, creamino, and platinum.  Sugar gliders have a membrane that runs from their wrists to their ankles called a patagium that lets them glide from one spot to the next.
   

• Diet ~ Feeding a sugar glider can get fairly complicated, as there are many diets out there. They need fresh or frozen fruits and veggies, a protein source such as live insects, mealworms, or boiled chicken, and a staple diet.  Personally, I use Judie's BML diet plan for my gliders, and they do very well with it.
    

• Housing ~ Sugar gliders need a cage that is large enough for them to climb, play, and run around in.  Our cages are 30" x 18" x 38"H with an overall height of 62".  The bar spacing should be no larger than 1/2 an inch wide, because the little buggers can squeeze through anything larger.  They should have pouches or a nest box to sleep in, a wheel for extra exercise , and toys to keep them entertained.
     

• Bonding ~ The more bonded you are to your sugar glider, the sweeter they will be with you.  Most people carry them around in bonding pouches, so they get used to your smell, touch, and voice.  You can also have play time with them in a smaller area, such as a tent or small bathroom. 
    

    I will be adding more information soon.  In the meantime, I strongly suggest checking out GliderCENTRAL for any additional information you could possibly want or need to know about Sugar gliders.  This site is a helpful and knowledgeable community where thousands of sugar glider owners get together for the good of the glider.
