If you are aware of the new internet trends, you must have already seen a video of Americans taking care of some peculiar pets. These unusual, tiny pets with pointy ears and big eyes are, in fact, Sugar Gliders.
For those who don't know, maybe imagine, at first sight, that the Petauros are a flying squirrel, but despite the similarity, they are different. This is because Petauros are not rodents, but they do have a structure reminiscent of some. However, they are mammals. If you want to know everything about these unusual little animals, keep reading!

Sugar Gliders are docile and friendly little animals, but that's only after a certain amount of contact with those who have seen their owners. That's because, in a more sudden and unexpected contact, this cute little animal may bite you with its sharp teeth.
Therefore, considering that the Petauros are somewhat brooding and distrustful, it may take you a while to win them over. But when that happens, they will give you a very beautiful friendship.
Also, care should be taken especially when handling a puppy or newborn glider, as this is where they can get the most angry. However, in the United States there is a culture of raising gliders as long as they are small, so that they can get used to the tutors.
However, as you can imagine, this creation must be very cautious and must respect the pet's space so that it likes you.
As already mentioned, in other countries, but especially in the United States, it is common to find Sugar Gliders as pets. There is no specific legislation to take care of them, so people raise them like they raise dogs and cats. However, in Brazil it is different, because here, whoever wants to create them must have a license according to the legislation.
In this way, it is even possible to find Petauros being bred in Brazil, but by specialized breeders or those who invest in exotic animals.
Furthermore, gliders are very rare on Brazilian soil, and their arrival in the country took place about 5 years ago.
