Female sugar gliders are able to conceive young at about 7 to 10 months. After about 16 days in the mother, the baby is born, with a weight of only 0.2 grams. It must then find its way to the mother's pouch where it will finish its development attached to one of four nipples for approximately 70 days. Eighty one percent of all litters will consist of two joeys. Joeys are weaned 110 to 120 days after emerging from the pouch, which is about 16 to 17 weeks (Kahn, 1656).
