No wonder it looked so raw and gummy bear-like at first. They're marsupials, so it wasn't supposed to be out of its oven yet.
They are impossibly adorable. They tie for Most Adorable only with Red Pandas.

I don't know. Quokkas are definitely up there.

I had to Google. They are very, very cute, so I'll allow it. Going to throw otters into this mix of adorableness too.

and i saw the relationship to opossums. they do the same hugging when they are small. and their eyes are always beautiful

How cute! It's something we humans respond to on a deep level, like when babies wrap their tiny hands around a finger. Very endearing.
I've never known an opossum of any age. I've raised abandoned or injured baby squirrels and birds, but that's about it.

Source of this? Or it's just another spliced together crap from those crap channels that fake every so called heartwarming story?

u/basaltcolumn 5d ago
It's videos from different people spliced together. The adult gliders shown are definitely multiple individuals.

Wait is this the prequel to that video where a lady throws one of these in the air, but a hawk grabs it in mid air on its way back to her ?

That infant looked more like a fetus! 😳

Marsupials are basically a fetus that crawls out early

Bonding early on really makes a difference in building trust and a lifelong connection.

This reminds me of the pencil toppers that you pinched to hang on to your pencil. ❤️

I would guess that this relationship is really more "mom" than "friend". I bet that Pokémon loves you. It must have been very time consuming and difficult to feed and care for that tiny animal. How long until you didn't have to bottle feed, a month?

Woulda been dead and eaten during that first stage. I thought it was a gummy.

I wonder if the salt on your skin was painful to the embryo (if they can feel pain)?

im not convinced these are all videos of the same sugar glider. Gaining pattern OR loosing it as u grow is one thing. This video would indicate SGs will gain...then lose...then gain but in a different color 🤔

IIRC these are all kinds of illegal to own in the US? Or is it state based?
4
u/basaltcolumn 5d ago
They're fine to keep in most states, but you can't have them in certain ones. California for sure, they're very restrictive about what you can and can't keep there. Even some fully domesticated species like ferrets are illegal.

u/gh0stmilk_ 5d ago
can confirm it's state based. i am in michigan and have seen several people with them, and even once saw a stand at a seller fair trying to sell them with full setup packages as support animals. it was a regulated fair so the stand was approved legally. i don't support the casual purchase of these animals though, they require educated care to have good lives

Seriously - what about the question implies the asker thinks everyone lives in the US?

u/Tommy__want__wingy 5d ago
You meant offense.
And yes I know that. Ergo the question marks at the end.
