d81FIrst off, I just want to say, KNOW what you're getting into. Sugar Gliders can be a pet that's very rewridang, but often difficult to take care of, and I beleive it was 70% (maybe more) of new sugar glider owners get rid of theirs within the first year, or very shortly after.I started off with one (what I thought was a female) I found her on craigslist (which, don't get me wrong, can be a great place to find pets, but people are often inexperienced, and it's bets to only rely on CL if you are an expert and know what you're doing, and what you're looking for) The previous owners told me they had only had her for about 6 months, but it was too much of a dedication for them, and with small children in the house, they couldn't handle it. I didn't think much of it because this was a pet I REALLY wanted. I was 15 at the time, and didn't know much at all about these animals, only things I had researched online. I noticed that she was developing a bald spot on the middle of her forhead, and doing further research, I found out that she was actually a HE and this was his scent gland developing. I then decided I wanted to get into breeding, and that my current suggie needed a friend. I drove almost out of state to get this female, who was supposedly a proven breeder. I took her home and they almost instantly bonded. Although, A fight coul've easily ensued, and one or both of them could've very easily died if they got into it. So it is a must to have a slow introduction process if your sugar gliders don't previously live together.I then drove 8 hours with a friend to pick up some animals from a small breeder. A chinchilla for her, and another female for me. (hopefully this one would produce babies) I took her home and that completed my trio of gliders.I quickly realized that I had gotten in way over my head. They bark constantly at night, and their barks can be heard from any location in the house. There's usually no stopping the barks. You must prepare fresh meals for them at each and every mealtime. This includes cutting fruits, veggies, etc. and sometimes making them special mixes. Doesn't sound so bad at first, but after months of doing this once or twice daily, it gets tiring. And their smell, is horrid. If you have a large cage, that's cleaned many times weekly, it's not so bad, but when you walk into the room after a day or two of not cleaning the cage, it's horrendous.If you think you're getting a pet that'll be more than willing to come out and play with you whenever you want, you're wrong. They're only going to be up from about 11 p.m. to about 3 or 4 in the morning. If you try to disturb them before THEY decide it's time to get up, you will often get a loud crabbing noise in return (which can be quite terrifying to newcomers) or a quick bite on the hand/arm/etc. If you can get past all this, then a sugar glider may be the pet for you. They can be wonderful, loving pets, IF you take the time to bond with them. They sell special sugar glider bonding pouches that can be helful with some gliders, but with others, it's completely useless. Good luck on your quest, and feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
