Marsupials are a diverse group of mammals characterized by the presence of a pouch, or marsupium, in which their young develop. This group includes sugar gliders and opossums, among others.
Caring for Sugar Gliders
Sugar gliders are small, tree-dwelling marsupials. These animals are incredibly intelligent and make excellent pets, but they require special care and attention. They are extremely social and should never be kept by themselves. From their diet to their exercise needs, there are many things to consider when caring for a sugar glider.
Opossums: The Large and Nocturnal Marsupials
Opossums are larger, nocturnal marsupials and have a reputation for being scavengers, but they are also incredibly intelligent and social creatures. Like sugar gliders, they require special care and attention to thrive in a domestic environment.
