The easy answer is:

They are extremely soft and cute, never need shots and are quite easy to care for.

The Scientific Answer Involves A Bit More But This Is The Simple Version:

Sugar Gliders get their name from their preference for very sweet foods such as sap from trees and sweet fruits.
They also have a membrane similar to flying squirrels that allow them to glide, explaning the gliding feature of their name.

How Much Should You Pay For A Sugar Glider?

The correct answer is:
Sugar Gliders will cost about 4400.00- $700.00 for the sugar glider(s) cage set up, supplies, food and costs of the animals.
These pets receive Vet care and that is part of the cost insuring that you should get a health sugar glider as your new family member.
If you want to purchase the different color variations, they will cost a bit more depending on the breeder that you choose.
This cost is based upon Vet Checks from the week that they are OOP (Out Of Pouch) and you should ask for a "Health Certificate" from the vet upon your purchase.
If you do not get this information, you do run the risk of possibly purchasing a sick sugar glider.
Anyone can get a USDA License, but the "Health Certificate" is the IMPORTANT key when you want to add these most wonderful little creatures into your life.
