ill say this before someone else does cos im sure it will get said. In your sig it says soon to be 1 sugar glider. You really shouldnt keep one sugar glider on its own, they are very social creatures and it would be very detrimental to its health to keep it singly. Id probably suggest 2 females to start off with. i have 1.3 together (though this still seems to be a bit controversial for some people) and they love the company. i really dont think they would still be here if they were on their own. The male i got was on his own for a good few weeks before i collected him and he was really crabby with me n wouldnt let me go near him, wouldnt come out his pouch at ours n wouldnt let me handle him without bitin me. As soon as he was in with the girls he stopped crabbin, was out on the wheel every night and interactin with the other gliders. He also will come onto my hand now, though i cant get him out the cage, we not up to that stage yet lol
