✨ Meet our sweet squirrel glider girls! ✨

Small in size but big in personality, these three curious ladies are among the Sanctuary's most-loved residents. Their favourite things? Sweet nectar, blossoms, fresh fruit, and investigating anything that might lead to a tasty treat!

In the wild, squirrel gliders face increasing challenges from habitat loss and fragmentation, making it harder for them to find food, shelter and safe places to glide between trees. Every donation helps us provide the specialised care, nutritious diets, enrichment and veterinary support needed to keep our gliders healthy, active and thriving.

This EOFY, your tax-deductible donation helps support incredible native species like our squirrel gliders and ensures they continue inspiring visitors for years to come. 💚

Want to meet them in person? Our curious girls are stars of the Curious Critters Experience, where you may even have the chance to offer them their favourite nectar treat right from your hand!

Donate before June 30 and help us care for Australia's wildlife, one curious critter at a time. 🐿️✨
