Got Sugar Gliders ?

Posts Tagged ‘flying squirrel’

the austrailian sugar glider is kinda like a flying squirrel, but you can train it just like a dog…they are very smart and so adorable and they eat fruit and bugs…i want one and i’ve looked into their nutrition and care habits and they seem pretty simple but i need a second opinion…they seem wonderful to have and they are good natured little animals…

I am looking to buy some new things for my baby flying squirrel. I’d really like to get a 8+ piece cage set. It’s a girl so I want something pink or brightly colored. Give me your website. If you sell on eBay, let me know.

For a “Christmas gift” I am getting a pet Southern Flying Squirrel in 3 weeks (not the same thing as a sugar glider). I have been reaserching for over 1 year now and know ALOT about care requirements, health, and all sorts of things. I am getting her from a breeder in San Antonio, Texas called Helen’s Little Critters. I was wondering if anyone who has ever owned a flyer or bought any exotic pets from Helen’s Little Critters before could tell me of their experences? Did yours make a good pet? Did it live long? ext.

Ps: Flying squirrels have been domesticated for 100s of years and are NOT wild animals. They are legal pets so please dont give me any “Wild animals shouldnt be pets” crap. I have fully reserched this and am making the disition to get one with alot of knowlage.

Both the flying squirrel and a sugar glider are nocturnal, tree dwelling mammals that seem to resemble one another very closely in body shape, color and behavior. They live in similar environments and fill similar roles in their respective food chains. When their evolutionary background is examined, it turns out that they are not closely related. What could account for the common characteristics that they possess?

A. Coevolution

B.Divergent evolution

C.Adaptive radiation

D.Convergent evolution

E.None of the above explain their physical similarity.
