Platinum
Sugar Glider · 0 live listings
Platinum is a recessive sugar glider color: a pale silvery gray body with a thin, faint dorsal stripe and dark eyes. It is a color only, so a platinum needs the same diet, companion and nighttime routine as a standard gray.

The tradeoffs, honestly
Because platinum is recessive, breeding projects rely on carrier claims you cannot see. Care, noise and the long lifespan are the same as any glider.
Common questions
What does "het platinum" mean?
The glider carries one hidden platinum gene but looks gray. Two hets paired together produce about one platinum in four. Only breeding records prove a het.
What health checks should a sugar glider have?
Ask for an exotics vet exam, a clear fecal and vet-confirmed sex, plus the joey's out-of-pouch date and the exact diet it eats. Poor diets cause metabolic bone disease, so line up an exotics vet first, and plan on two: a glider kept alone is prone to stress and self-harm.
Can I legally keep a sugar glider where I live?
Check state and city law first, because rules vary. Sugar gliders are prohibited in California, Hawaii and Alaska and in New York City, and Florida and Pennsylvania may require permits to sell or breed them. Some towns and landlords add their own limits.
Ask the seller for these. Documents on Everybarn are on file for your own checks; we don't check them with the issuer.
