Southern Flying Squirrels

Kept as pets for hundreds of years, these gentle squirrels love to bond with their owners.

A small, brown, furry, white-bellied little creature, Glaucomys volans, known as the Southern flying squirrel, appears to be a conglomerate of a dormouse, a chinchilla, a squirrel, a rabbit, a pika and a lemur. Its large nocturnal eyes, loving nature and gliding ability have made it a popular pet for hundreds of years.
