			<description><![CDATA[As marsupials, Sugar Gliders have short gestation periods and carry their underdeveloped offspring in a pouch after birth.

At around three months old they become independent.

A joey is usually ready to leave the pouch within a week’s time when the feet, tail and/or legs are hanging out of the pouch.  Male sugar gliders r&hellip;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps) are small, nocturnal mammals that are usually active at night and sleep during the day. Like kangaroos, they are marsupials and as such, possess a pouch in which the female sugar glider raises her young. In the wild, they live in New Guinea and the eastern coast of Australia in coastal or rain-forests. They are social animals who usually cohabit in groups of six to ten, so they should not be kept as single pets. Sugar gliders have unique nutritional requirement&hellip;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Sugar gliders keep themselves clean, so they don’t require water, dust, or shampoo baths, unless prescribed by your vet.

All food and water dishes should be cleaned daily, and be sure to spot-clean the cage for any messes daily and fully clean the entire cage every week.

Cages should not be cleaned when gliders are inside, as the chemicals may be irritating to eyes, nose, and lungs. Vinegar cleaning products and diluted bleach are all safe to clean the hard items in the cage.
