The price of the Japanese flying squirrel is around 100. It is not only cheap, but also very convenient to raise. The main food is fruit and artificial feed, and some animal food can be fed occasionally.

The color of the Japanese flying squirrel will change with the seasons Their hair is brownish-gray or purple-black in summer and pale yellow in winter. When gliding, its limbs are spread out and stretched, and its tail is straight and slightly upturned, with the assistance of the flexor and extensor carpi palmar muscles of the forelimbs, to control the epidermis. When landing, the head is raised up, the body is vertical, and the front feet are used to grasp the trunk. If the slope is larger, the gliding distance is also longer.
