: My parents have this crazy idea that sugar gliders are endangered or something and that they are illegal to have. I was wondering if anyone can give me an absolute deffinate answer that theit not.
: Thanx.
Hi Michelle,
Sugar Gliders are most *definately* not endangered. If they were considered an endangered or threatend species, I can assure you that ownership would be an issue in the U.S. *However* I have heard that they are a protected speceies in the wild in certain parts of Austalia.
If further research is required, check out this site I found: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~surfing/raymond/indanger.htm
I hope this helps.
