Strange Pet of the Week: The Sugar Glider


This critter hails from Australia and is a member of the Gliding Possum family. Sugar Gliders are very social animals and in the wild they can live together in groups of up to 30.

If you choose to get a sugar glider of your own, make sure it gets lots of attention and care. In the first few months out of the pouch it needs constant affection. The sugar glider can become very depressed if it gets neglected, and it is one of the only animals that can die of loneliness. Also, if you feed them after midnight they will become evil.
