Other Animals


It is recommended to not have any direct pet interaction between your sugar gliders and any other pets.

CATS

Cats are hunters of small animals. If your sugar gliders get out, they can be killed. In cage, they are ok although having cats around could cause mental stress. Some animals can learn that these are your pets and come to not harm them. People have reported that their cats are good with sugar gliders.

DOGS

Dogs are hunters as well, but perhaps less so with a sugar glider. Dogs can also learn that your captive sugars are your pet and they will come to not harm them. However, dogs will often want to play with the little furry thing if it is out and they can easily end up killing it by accident.

BIRDS

In the wild, sugar gliders do kill and consume birds nesting for the night. Do not keep birds and sugar gliders together!

FERRETS

Ferrets, like cats, hunt small animals. The combination of rapid movement and mouse-like appearance can cause a ferret to try to attack the glider and cause the glider harm.
