Sugar Gliders are an exquisite pet. These nocturnal possums inherited this distinct and fun name from their love for sweets and ability to magically fly. Can these animals actually fly?! Well no, but their interesting build allows them to glide ever so swiftly from place to place. When stretched out, their limbs unveil blanketed fur that connects back to their body, resembling that of a flying squirrel, or as we like to think, a cape!
Adopting one of these adorable critters comes with a ton of responsibility, but you’re ready for the commitment these guys require! The next step in preparing for your wee possum’s arrival is choosing them a name. Whether they have yet to make the journey to you and their forever home, or they’ve already had a chance to settle in, you are ready to find them the perfect name.
Below are good sugar glider names for females and males, ideas for the cutest of sugar gliders, creative names fitting for this unique pet, and for those who have chosen to adopt in twos we have a list designated to dynamic duos, twins, and iconic pairs.
