These two cheeky chaps came in recently for castration, both were very well behaved and recovered quickly post operatively.

WHAT ARE SUGAR GLIDERS?

Sugar gliders are marsupials native to New Guinea and Australia. In the wild they live in open forest, love to climb and are nocturnal.

They can glide up to 50 metres using a special gliding membrane which runs from their wrists to their ankles.

In captivity they can live up to 14 years and have an average heart beat of 200-300 beats per minute!

Most sugar gliders are 12-14cm long and weigh 95g-160g.
