Sugar Gliders are small marsupials related to the American opossum but often compared to flying squirrels. Sugar Gliders, as the name suggests, like sweet foods (eating sap, fruits, and insects in the wild) and have a membrane connecting their forelimbs and back legs that acts as a hang-glider or parachute for navigating tree canopies. As pets sugar gliders require constant handling and bonding time and make larger messes than animals five times their size! They enjoy pouches and crawling beneath clothing, which illustrates their social nature and marsupial affiliation. Sugar gliders are more work than one might guess and should not be adopted lightly.

In this free video series, expert sugar glider handler Elizabeth Cantu teaches you all about sugar glider care and health. She will show you how to handle, feed, bond with, and house your new sugar glider. Elizabeth also covers the importance of nutrition, household dangers and safety, how to setup and accessorize a cage, and what to expect from the pet. You will learn about male and female sugar gliders, neutering, how old they should be before adoption, and how to ensure a happy, stimulating environment.
