I'm the fashion editor at Vice.

And today you're at my house because I am babysitting for

my parents' sugar gliders.

I know that they're from Australia.

They're marsupials.

They are closely related to koalas.

They are called sugar gliders because of their preference

for nectarous foods.

And they basically just eat fruit and insects.

I'm feeding them peach yogurt.

They hate all other flavors, though, which is weird.

They are very easy to take care of-- apples, Gatorade,

and grain, and maybe some yogurt.

Their tails are so long because they can actually use

them to wrap around things.

And they have these crazy long tongues, too.

They are, like, this long.

They clean themselves.

You'll see them huddled up in a ball together just, like,

licking each other.

They have little flaps underneath both of their arms.

If you put them on a high ledge, they fly off.

No, no, no, you're not going in my closet.

When we first got them, it took a while to get used to

them because they would just jump on you.

And sometimes, if you're not turned the right way, they'll

jump into your hair and just, like, dangle there.

Come on, yeah.

[LAUGH]

During the day, I let them crawl around because they are

normally really tame and sleepy.

So they're not trying to experiment.

Where is she?

They actually sleep most of the day.

They're nocturnal, so they wake up at 10:00 PM, normally,

and they go to bed around 10:00 PM.

But every now and then they wake up during the day just to

play, and then they go back to sleep.

But when they're awake, they're awake

for, like, 12 hours.

They love this wheel, which is extremely loud.

Because they're awake all night, it's a little difficult

taking care of them in a studio apartment.

And then occasionally at night, they will bark if they

want your attention, like when they first wake up, they want

to see you.

My dogs, they're fascinated by them.

I have an Italian Greyhound.

My little Chihuahua really likes them too.

She would just sniff at them if you have them in your hands

when you're feeding them.

I think they're about done with us for today.

They're going to go back to sleep and wake up at 10:00.

They don't want to play with us anymore.
