Do sugar gliders recognize their owners?

Sugar gliders do recognize their owners. Although their brain capacity is small and their thinking ability is poor, they still have the ability to recognize their owner. Sugar gliders mainly distinguish their owner by scent; when changing to a new environment and a new owner, a sugar glider may show symptoms such as reduced appetite and lethargy, and at first it usually ignores the new owner. Once the sugar glider gradually becomes familiar with the owner’s scent, it will slowly accept the new owner and be willing to get close and interact.
