I want a sugar glider and i know pretty much everything about them. I’ve been researching them for about a month now and when it comes to this i get mixed answers. So people who have sugar gliders tell me are sugar gliders usually aggressive?

The most aggresive reaction I’ve ever got out of a sugar glider is a yawn. They are very timid and not aggresive at all.

yes gliders can be aggressive
Regardless of what most breeders, hobbyists and enthusiasts would like everyone to believe, sugar gliders are naturally aggressive.
Sugar gliders are extremely territorial and will attack others of their own species as well as other animals that invade their territory. While this behavior is most prominent in males, females do behave this way as well. This aggressive nature is instinctive in sugar gliders, and often results in the sugar glider scratching, biting, or even trying to attack human caregivers. When sugar gliders are startled, they will do one of three things–crab (their version of growling), or scratch and bite, or run and hide.
sugar gliders by nature live in colonies with one male and several females. having only one creates fear and insecurity. Gliders kept singly or even in pairs generally will not truly accept a human.
also,sugar gliders are nocturnal, and unless you become nocturnal as well, there is not enough interaction to truly allow the you to become recognized as part of the colony.
