Sugar Glider marsupials are being kept as house pets by many Vietnamese people. They are nocturnal arboreal squirrels native to Papua – New Guinea, Indonesia, and the east coast of Australia.
Adult flying squirrels are 16 – 20cm long and possess a thin membrane extending from the middle of their arms to the end of their hind legs, giving them the ability to fly up to 60 – 100 meters in a few seconds.
Newborn baby flying squirrels will automatically crawl into a small bag in front of their mother’s chest and drink milk until they become stronger.
Sugar squirrels are very easy to tame and are close to humans.
When taking care of them, people often feed them sweet foods like the name Sugar such as: flowers, nectar, pollen, buds, sap, leaves, seeds and insects.
