Length: 6.3 - 7.5 inches (16 - 20 cm) The Sugar Glider is about the size of a gerbil when mature. They have a long bushy tail, which is about the same length as their body (20cm). Weight: 100-160 grams.
The sugar glider is one of a number of volplane (gliding) possums in Australia. Gliders glide with the fore-and hind-limbs extended at right angles to their body, with their feet flexed upwards.ike all arboreal, nocturnal marsupials, sugar gliders are active at night, and shelter in tree hollows lined with leafy twigs during the day. The average home range of sugar gliders is 0.5 hectares, and is largely related to the abundance of food sources; density ranges from 2-6 individuals per hectare.
