Animals like Sugar Gliders come up on the Herp Trader from time to time.
in Victoria birds and native mammals are on the same license as herps. There is quite a range we can keep but they rarely come up. I know of somebody that keeps a couple of small wallabies which means he never has to mow the lawn ;-)

On behalf of my brother, I'll make things a little clearer. At the end of the year he is moving out and going to live at my place. He'll be finished school and working part time. The pair of us are planing to become demonstrators down the line somewhere and he mentioned getting some cute and cuddlies for the shows. He has an interest in ring or bush tail possum, sugar glider and possibly dunnarts, I'll help him set things up and I have the appropriate lic to buy these animals. We live in Vic and more then anything I think he is trying to find someone with some exp at keeping these critters. Any info on how to keep these guys would help and it would be good to find out any info on breeders in the local area. Cheers, Mark

If you really need to keep these creatures then much thought needs to go into where you are going to keep it/them and how you are going to look after it/them once, you have one.
| I am not sure that I agree with this. My experience is that some will do well as pets if properly housed and cared for. No doubt others don't.
That said many of the points they make are quite valid notes of caution.
