I was just curious but I know this one breeder who has been breeding for about a year. They have a sugar glider with brown fur and is a little joey. I know a few things:
1) in the wild a sugar glider's fur in brown cause of euucaplustus. (sorry, can't spell tonight.)
2.)A wild caught's baby will have grey fur.

So does this mean that the joey is definitly wild caught? Or could there be another reason?

no it doesn't mean that it is wild caught. there are gliders that are blonde,brown,cinnamon,copper and white,and of course grey. so it is possible that the baby is just one of these different colored gliders.

None, it is not true that they baby must be a wild caught. I have several generations of gliders that I raised myself that are what I call an orangey brown. They have some brown in their topcoat and their undersides are "orangey" colored as opposed to white.

What is the likelihood of a glider being brown instead of grey? Probably not much...
