How long can Sugar Gliders Live?
Books report that in captivity Sugar Gliders have a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years if cared for properly and given the proper diet. In the wild their life expectancy is closer to 7 to 8 years mainly due to predators and the art of natural selection. Our records of captive gliders run from 8-12 at Sugar Glider Connection. Plan ahead when adopting a sugar glider as a member of your family.
