118 Sugar Gliders That Are Just Too Sweet

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a sugar glider gliding effortlessly through the air. Get ready for your daily dose of cuteness because we gathered a list of the most adorable pictures of sugar gliders.

You might think that these exotic animals are not meant to be kept as pets, but in reality, when looked after correctly, they are happy to live with people. They have roughly the same intelligence as dogs, in that when trained properly they can learn their name and come when they’re called. They tend to grow a strong bond with their human “families” and are happy to spend time with them.

However, sugar gliders are difficult to care for so we encourage you to think twice before jumping on the sugar glider owner train. They're nice to look at but definitely not for everyone.

What do you think ?

Barbara Delahunty 7 years ago

There gorgeous and I love them but I'm sure they're not meant to be kept as pets

The Cappy 7 years ago

"Meant" meaning what, I wonder. Were dogs and cats meant to be pets? Humans domesticated wild animals, and how they're very happy commensals, both deriving and giving benefit to the humans with whom they live. These sugar gliders seem very happy, and their humans clearly love them. And they're not being predated or ravaged with parasites like they would be in the wild.

Very cute although belongs in the Wild were it was born. And way to young to have been taken away from its Mom.

Melody Lanzatella 7 years ago

Sugar Gliders are actually perfectly adapted to be pets. They are VERY social, LOVE people, and their lives as pets are so much more comfy. They have difficult and dangerous lives of course. They live much longer as pets. I am usually with you on this issue, 100%. But the are a select few that are on the list of, an even better quality of life as pets!

Hans 7 years ago

These are absolutely adorable creatures. I share the concern of keeping them as pets, though, as their nocturnal liftstyle makes them rather incomptable to living with humans.

Marcia 7 years ago

I'm nocturnal too they r so cute
