What is the sugar gliders natural habitat?
Sugar gliders (aka “gliders”) live in forests and woodland. They live in “families” or colonies of about 6 to 10 gliders. They generally live in the highest branches of eucalyptus trees, and sleep huddled together in tree hollows. They prefer a temperature range of between 50 and 90 degrees, and adapt to colder weather by snuggling together. During extreme cold spells, they will reserve body heat by minimizing their activities. They have even been known to hibernate. Sugar gliders prefer soft warm nests inside of trees. They line their nests with leaves and moss.
