It's a pet. They are only legal in certain states of the United States. And cannot be found anywhere in the wild of the US. Yes, it was an unwanted pet.

I was looking at this little fellow thinking '"That looks like one of our Sugar Gliders. Do they have a similar species in the US?" Perplexed!! But it is an Aussie native. This little fellow was rescued from where, Andrea? Someone's neglected pet, or are they now in the wild? Lovely photos. Hope this beauty is OK.
