Sugar gliders have become popular pets here in the U.S., but they need a lot of attention.

Sugar gliders are small marsupials native to Australia and New Guinea. They are like a small flying possum about the size of a squirrel.

Their tails are often the same length as their bodies, with grey, black and white markings.

It’s always important to know what you are getting into when you bring a pet into your life. So, find out as much as you can before bringing one home.
