The detail
The standard gray is the wild-type sugar glider: a small, nocturnal gliding marsupial with gray fur, a dark dorsal stripe and a pale belly. It needs the same demanding care as every color, including a companion, a specialist diet and an owner awake at night.

What to weigh
Gliders are active at night, bark and chatter, scent-mark, and live 10 to 15 years. The diet takes nightly preparation, and a single glider kept alone often becomes stressed.
