There called Sugar Gliders. ( you can google the name and get alot of info) Alot of people think that they are flying squirrels b/c the look really similar but there actually from the opossum family. You find them in Australia and a couple other places. I've been wanting one for a couple years now. Theres alot of breeders of them around the US. They get about 5 to 7 inches in length in body and their tail is about the same size as their body. Their nocturnal but mine havn't woke me up any through the night. Hubby woke them up pretty early this morning and when he left they barked a little but it only last a couple min. (yes I said bark, it sounds like a puppy when they first learn how to bark...it's really cute) They can bite but since their so small it's kinda like a hampster bite. We got these on monday and neither one has bit us (knocking on wood..LOL) yet. They just like to crawl all over you. It takes a little bit of time to get them to bond with you, were still working on that but their doing good. Something that I think is neat is that they carry their babies in a pouch like a kangaroo...

Here's a pic. of when they glide..... and a close up
