Tips on Sugar Gliders

By: PetPlace Veterinarians

Sugar gliders socialize among themselves, often living in small family groups. They get lonely on their own so you want to get more than one. The ideal temperature for sugar gliders should be somewhere between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures over 88 F can lead to heat related illness, which can be life-threatening. Cared for properly, these gray and black striped creatures can live up to 14 years.
