Introduction

GliderWiki is dedicated to providing information and education regarding keeping and breeding Squirrel Gliders in captivity.

The Wiki is based in South Australia and so many of the articles on this website reflect the wildlife laws in this State. The Wiki also endeavours to cover the situation in other states. In any event, this Wiki should not be relied upon for such information, and you should consult the authorities in your State for up to date, detailed, and authorative information.

GliderWiki is a place where you can find details for Squirrel Gliders on their:

  • Diet
  • Housing
  • Breeding
  • Handling
  • Keeping of wild fauna
  • Breeders and Carers
  • Resources
  • Links
  • Community and Contacts

The wiki format will allow you to browse detailed information on all of the above features. If you register and then log in to your account, you will also be able to add and edit articles as well.

Another benefit of registering is that it is possible for you to create a User page and Talk page - just like Wikipedia. That will hopefully assist you in contacting other Users. Being a wiki format, it is possible to work collaboratively with others to create a network of articles about issues that you find interesting.

Please register and help build the picture of Squirrel Gliders.
