They're the marsupial (pouched) Australian equivalent of a flying squirrel.

2) up to 15 years 3) sometimes, hard, and painfully, some are nicknamed fluffy cobras for good reason. with a lot of time and patience the young can be bonded to their human owner well tho. 4) omniverous.. mine get fruit, some veg, small bits of protein like chicken and egg and tuna, mealworms, cottage cheese, yoghurt, seeds.. 5) as big a cage as possible. minimum 4ft high by 2ft square or so. think big chipmonk cage, 6) someone has two neutered males and cage for £400 on, which imho they have NO chance of getting... i picked up a uncut pair and cage for £60.. and am being given another male for nothing, but about £100 a glider is an average price i guess may i recomend this site for on going reading: Untitled Document    glider cage
