About Squirrel Gliders & Sugar Gliders
Gliders live in small family groups of up to 10 individuals. They are obligate hollow users – in that every day they require a safe refuge to retreat to, typically a natural hollow or wildlife box where hollows are lacking. Squirrel Gliders typically make leaf-lined nests within hollows.
Significant alteration to many urban and rural environments has meant that natural hollows are now rare. Supplementing natural hollows with a wildlife box will increase available habitat.
Collection can be arranged for boxes; alternatively, a freight charge will be applied. You will be advised of this cost before payment is requested.
