~ The Perfect Pet You Can Place In Your Palm? ~ These tiny pets are highly in demand at the moment. But should we be encouraging the breeders in the supply and demand of the Exotic Sugar Glider? Delicate and extremely demanding I worry that these creatures are doomed to a very ugly fate. In the short term they are highly desirable. But in reality they need a huge amount of caring for. Another short lived trend I feel and the future of the Sugar Glider as a domestic pet seemed doomed to failure. ~ ~ What is a Sugar Glider? ~ The sugar Glider (petarurus briviceps), is taking the world by storm as the new 'Must have' ...

They are called gliders because they have a gliding membrane than stretches from their back legs to their front legs, so when they stretch their legs out they can act like a kite and glide great distances (as long as a football pitch!)
