	The Squirrel Glider: An Autoecological Study in a Fragmented Landscape
		The primary aim of this study was to investigate the ecology of the squirrel glider in a region where the potential habitat of the species exists in fragmented landscape.
		Births in squirrel gliders occurred in almost all months of the year over the 2.5 year trapping program, with a mean litter size of 1.6 and a natality rate of 1.8 young per year.
		Squirrel gliders were found in all the size categories of remnant area provided that the habitat was suitable, although higher densities of gliders occurred in bushland remnants that were greater than 200 ha in size.

	Sugar Glider and Squirrel Glider
		The Squirrel Glider's muzzle is somewhat sharper but both have the distinctive fl stripe from the forehead area to down the back.
		Sugar Gliders are found mainly in the higher forested regions and Squirrel Gliders in the lowland coastal bush areas.
		Colonies of gliders that have managed to survive in remnant habitat in cities such as Brisbane are particularly under threat because these remnant habitats are continually at risk of being fragmented.

		Squirrel Gliders make a variety of calls, including a soft yapping and a gurgling sound that is made when they are disturbed.
		In the wild, Squirrel Gliders feed primarily off of insects and grubs, although when insects are hard to find they also eat the sap of gum and wattle trees and various seeds and fruits.
		Squirrel Gliders were often eaten by Aboriginal people.

		The re-discovery of squirrel gliders became known in 1995 when an injured squirrel glider was discovered by a local landholder on their property 'Thurso', 5kin south of Burrumbuttock.
		Consequently the 'Burrumbuttock Squirrel Glider Project' was born, using the squirrel glider as an iconic species to capture landholder interest and raise awareness of woodland dependent animals.
		Cats (and foxes to a lesser degree) are the major predators of gliders and this was a vital aspect when a town was located in the middle of a squirrel glider conservation project.

	Sugar Glider - Petaurus breviceps
		Sugar gliders are nocturnal, spending their days sleeping in a nest in a hollow portion of a tree.
		Sugar gliders are omnivorous in nature, often preying upon insects and insect larvae, as well as birds, bird eggs, small lizards, and arachnids in the summer months, and turning to plant products in the winter months: nectar, fruits, leaves, sap, and pollen.
		Sugar gliders are extremely common throughout their entire range, and are considered one of the most abundant of the Australian mammals.

	Sugar Glider
		Sugar gliders are nocturnal animals, which means they spend much of their active time at night and sleep during the day.
		Like kangaroos, gliders have a very short gestation period of 16 days after which they give birth to one to three hairless offspring that are smaller than a bee.
		Because sugar gliders resemble rodents, (flying squirrels), new owners are incorrectly instructed to feed their glider rodent blocks, seeds and vegetable material only.

	Mahogany glider - Petaurus gracilis: More Information - ARKive
		Mahogany gliders were first described in 1883 but for over 100 years were thought to be a subspecies of the more common, squirrel glider (Petaurus norfolcensis) (6).
		Gliders have a thin, furred membrane that stretches from the front foot to the ankle of the hind foot (3), and whilst not in use the gliding membrane can be seen as a wavy line along the body (4).
		The mahogany glider has a grey to brown coloured coat with a fl stripe that runs along the length of the body, and the underside is creamy white or mahogany (2).

		The range of the Squirrel Glider overlaps that of the smaller Sugar Glider, P. breviceps, and where this occurs, the Squirrel Glider is usually the more common, probably due to their size difference.
		Squirrel Gliders are similar to Sugar Gliders but with a longer, more pointed face; lengthier and narrower ears and what really differentiates them from Sugar Gliders is their thicker, bushier tail which is quite stunning!
		Squirrel Gliders have one breeding season a year, usually the second half of the year although two breedings can sometimes occur.

		Almost twice the size of the Sugar Glider, the Squirrel Glider is otherwise similar to it in appearance and gliding ability.
		The shrill yapping call characteristic of the Sugar Glider has not been recorded for the Squirrel Glider but the defiant gurgling chatter is common to both and is considerably deeper and more throaty in the larger species.
		Although the Squirrel Glider is usually more common than the Sugar Glider in places where both species coexist, it may be endangered, at least in the southern part of its range.

	Welcome To The Sugar Glider Connection
		Although they have a nickname of Australian Flying Squirrels, the only thing they have in common with a flying squirrel is that they are close to the same size, and they do glide from tree to tree like a flying squirrel.
		It is true, the younger the glider is, the more trainable it is. However, a glider can be trained at any age with dedication and commitment.
		A Sugar Glider that is not allowed a lot of freedom outside of the safety of their cage home, will be a more tightly bonded glider in most cases.

	Loris Sugar Glider Diets
		Sugar gliders do not eat a lot of insects until around 6 months old, so try a few live or freeze dried worms or crickets and then increase when you notice they have desired a taste for them.
		This nutrition plan has also been a major factor in two zoo colonies of gliders--one sugar glider and one squirrel glider (another gliding species)--thought to be unable to breed--to produce many offspring.
		Don’t let your glider go outside unless he is in a travel bag, if he runs up a tree or gets lost he cannot live outside.

		The mahogany glider's diet includes nectar from eucalypt blossoms and grass-trees and exudates licked from gashes cut in various plants.
		The mahogany glider was described as a new species in 1883 in the vicinity of Cardwell, Queensland, Australia.
		However, in the apparent absence of further specimens to examine, it came to be regarded as a subspecies of the more common squirrel glider, Petaurus norfolcensis and was "lost" as a species for 100 years.

	Rare glider discovered - 19/05/2006
		The squirrel glider, a species listed as threatened, has never been discovered west of the Grampians in Victoria, and was discovered at Bordertown almost by accident.
		The main difference between the squirrel glider and the sugar glider is the large amount of fluffy fur at the base of the squirrel glider's tail, but despite this it’s very difficult to tell the two species apart.
		Although the squirrel glider is also found along the eastern seaboard and in western Victoria, it’s listed as a threatened species because its woodland habitat has been heavily cleared.

	Sugar Glider - BIRD
		The Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a small gliding possum native to eastern and northern mainland Australia.
		It is around 16 to 20 cm in length, with a slightly longer tail, and weighs between 90 and 150 grams — about half the size of the closely related Squirrel Glider.
		These are inconspicuous when the Sugar Glider is at rest—it merely looks a little flabby, as though it had lost a lot of weight recently—but immediately obvious when it takes flight.

		The squirrel glider has been recorded across a wider geographic area and its distribution had a larger variation in bioclimatic variables.
		The predicted distribution of the mahogany glider did not extend outside the known area on the mainland, although the species was predicted to occur over 500 m elevation in some areas within their known range.
		In contrast to the mahogany glider, the squirrel glider was predicted to occur well outside of its known distribution, including all that area predicted to be habitat for the former species.

		Movement: As with the sugar glider, the squirrel glider can glide for a distance of around 50m.
		Status: The squirrel glider is rare for most of its range along the east coast of Australia.
		It is not often seen because it is nocturnal, living in family groups and hiding away in leaf-lined hollows in trees.

	Squirrel glider nestbox
		Our experience with squirrel gliders started in 1996 when 10 boxes were installed in parkland fringing Bulimba Ck in Brisbane.
		A smaller entrance of around 50mm or less was suggested by the work of Barry Traill and Alan Lill, from Monash University, who found that, to exclude squirrel gliders from a nestbox, they had to half-block a 50mm diameter entrance (thus forming a semi-circle).
		Since then, we have become aware of two 2 instances where squirrel gliders regularly used a bat box with a 15mm slit as entrance.

		Southern flying squirrels are found in Eastern North America: the Gulf Coast north to Ontario, East coast to Midwest, west to northeast corner of Nebraska and the Missouri River Basin.
		Squirrels have the same characteristics of other rodents, including the pair of long teeth at the front of both the upper and lower jaw.
		However, some squirrels have a difficulty figuring out how to use those type of water bottles, and so using a seed feeder/water fountain type water bottle or a small heavy dish is the better choice.

	Minnippi Against Development
		Within the Cannon Hill site, most of the glider activity is concentrated in the north western section of the study site (the land currently subject to a rezoning application), together with tile northern part of the Council-owned land subject to a golf course proposal.
		The maintenance of a squirrel glider population on the study site is likely to depend on the retention of all the bushland in the north western section of the site, that is the larld currently subject to a rezoning application.
		From the point of view of squirrel glider conservation, any golf course development should aim to leave all existing vegetation, and also implement a carefully designed revegetation program which includes the re-establishment of a linked system of habitat areas.

	Sugar Glider Resource Center
		Sugar glider diets are highly debated among domestic sugar glider owners, because a) a glider's health depends on a good diet, b) relatively little is known about the exact nutritional needs of gliders, and c) because gliders can be picky eaters!
		Maria is a Colorado sugar glider breeder who developed this diet several years ago.
		This diet was originally used with the Squirrel glider, a distant relative of the sugar glider, but has been modified (primarily by lessening amounts given) for sugar gliders.
