One thing i would like to ask, why cant suggies stay outdoor? they live in the wild with rain, sun and high humidity. I know the noise pollution is alien for them, but if it is a quiet place then ?
The survival instinct and ability is different for captived glider and wild gliders. They are now being pets, which means pampered and spoiled.

In the wild also theres snakes, wildcats, tigers, eagle etc. Not to mention over exposure to rain, sun and many more natural disaster.
Sure, our outdoors is not the wild. But still, theres risk of over exposure to the weather, pesticide, cats, snakes, dogs, centipede, rats (those big, fierce KL kind), crows, stupid neighbor who cant resist to throw rocks and poke at them and many more.
There is a reason why gliders lives longer in captivity, with proper diet and care. In the wild, their average lifespan is only 4 years, and not all make it in their first year as well.
Yea. Nobody prepare well balanced diet for wild gliders everyday, nobody will keep them in a safe shelter, nobody protect them from predator, and nobody bring them to c doctor when they are sick. That's y, there are alot captive pet has longer lifespan than wild animal.
