![]() is proudly supported by the Thyne Reid Foundation and the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation. Droppings are the size and shape of slightly flattened peas. ![]() Similar to Yellow-bellied Glider but has fluffy ears. Dependent on large tracts of undisturbed, tall forest with suitably large nesting hollows each animal requires approximately 1.5 ha. Patchy distribution along coastal eastern Australia. Recent records from Redland Bay, Alexandra Hills and Sheldon. Uncommon, but widespread in southern Brisbane suburbs probably extinct in northern and western suburbs. Gliding membrane stretches from elbow to ankle. Body may be charcoal-brown to creamy-white large, fluffy ears shaggy fur long pendulous non-gripping tail no stripes. Repaired with a simple needle and cotton.Body length 400 mm tail length 500 mm weight 1.5 kg.Successfully Brushed and combed to bring them back to life….Washed by hand or gentle machine wash …( in cold water only).Learning to care for our animals will encourage them to take care of their surroundings at home and in the wider world. Sugar Gliders Sugar gliders are very social and need companionship. ![]() They are found in the rainforests gliding from tree to tree and make their homes in tree hollows. We believe that children can and must learn to take care of their material world. Sugar gliders are native to Australia (the Eastern part), Papua New Guinea, Tasmania, multiple surrounding islands, and parts of Indonesia. ( see our History to see the development of Secret Gully puppets and Endangered Animals Australia)Īll our animals can be cared for with ease to break the cycle of buy and throw-away world of consumerism This is achieved by a small group of women. We deliberately use old methods of cutting the material by a small hand machine then sewn by hand and on machines both in Nanjing and In Melbourne. All materials are fire-resistant and have been tested under a flame.Īll patterns are drawn by hand first and then shaped into the three-dimensional shape that is meticulously worked with by producing many samples until the spirit of the animal is revealed and comes to life when it is used. ![]() Fragmented populations have a reduced ability to recolonise suitable habitat and are at risk of genetic decline.Īll our Puppets and toys are hand made from materials made in an environmentally sustainable.Īll runoff from dyes used is contained and disposed of in an ecologically safe way. They use hollow-bearing trees for shelter and nesting, with each family group using multiple den trees within its home range.īecause they are highly dependent on forest and large hollow-bearing trees, habitat loss and fragmentation through clearing and bushfires pose a threat to Greater Gliders.Ĭlimate change may also contribute to the contraction of suitable habitat. Breeding rights can be issued for additional fees. Keep in mind Sugar glider colors and markings may change as they grow. The sugar gliders in pairs will be adopted as it is. In the wild, they live in large family groups, called colonies. Greater Gliders are forest-dependent and prefer older tree age classes in moist forest types. Sugar gliders are extremely social animals. They are found throughout old growth, forested bush but are absent from high altitude alpine and sub-alpine habitats, and now absent in any cleared areas. Greater Gliders are found along the east coast of mainland Australia, from central Queensland to central Victoria. They can be found in different dark and light-coloured morphs. They have thick, fur on their back and thick fur on the very long tails and large fury ears. The Greater Glider is Australia’s largest gliding mammal.
