Question
how long does it take for a suger glider to get pregnet and to get muture and i want to know all about suger gliders

Answer
Dear Jess:

Sugar gliders mature at different rates.  Males become sexually mature and are capable of fathering joeys as early as 5 months old.  Most of my pairs did not conceive until 7-10 months old.  The females can take a little longer.  There is lots to learn about sugar gliders.  I would research as much as you can before you about glider care in general before you consider breeding gliders.  There are problems that can occur if diet and habitat is not right or if the gliders become stressed which can contribute to the parents cannibalizing the joeys.  Here are some links where you can find out all you will need to know about sugar gliders.
