Sugar Glider or Flying Squirrel?

I was looking at some animals to get as pets and i found the sugar glider, then I found an animal that seamed to be almost the same, the flying squirrel.





Can someone list the pros and cons of each, size and dietSugar Glider or Flying Squirrel?
get a sugar glider, theyr nicer than flying squirrels! flying squirrles bite, and sugar gliders dont.Sugar Glider or Flying Squirrel?
Ok the whole sugar gliders don't bite and only eat fruit is crap. I've done EXTENSIVE research on sugar gliders(I also am the proud owner of one little fuzzbutt named macie)! Sugar gliders are a marsupial native to australia and are omnivores!!! That means the gliders eat fruit veggies AND meats. Macies favorite fruit is apples and her favorite meat is boiled chicken. They love all meats but they can't have pork for some reason(its to complicated to get into.) As for flying squirrls I can't say because I don't know much about them. But be warned sugar gliders are great pets but they are a lot of work! If you have ANY questions at all abot sugar gliders feel free to contact me.! Hope that helps
Here is an article comparing the two as pets. It seems to favor the flying squirrel (no musky odor, easier to feed, doesn't need as much attention as a sugar glider)
Sugar gliders are the worlds smallest Marsupial ( i can't spell Lol) Sugar gliders also only eat fruits and are not native to america





Squirrle Hibernate, Sugar Gliders don't. Squirrles eat nuts Lol and so there Are a lot of differnces.
sugar gliders smell and are VERY sensitive to water


they are extremely cute, and often very loving.





flying squirrels sometimes are a bit less affectionate.


but their smell isnt quite as strong.
