Sooo sweet,i love there names.how old r they,i wish i could afford 2 have a pair of sugar gliders......

Aww they are so cute I have male/female twins called Pip & Squeak

Don't want to scare you or anything but if thats grapes they are eating you really shouldn't feed them, grapes are dangerous & can kill, I won't feed grapes to any of my animals even my African Grey who used to love them

are these tame and handable?

[glidergirl]

Congratulations. I agree with Kazza17 though, do not feed grapes they have caused the death of a number of different animals ranging from dogs to parrots to skunks. It's just not worth it, there's lots of other yummy things you can feed them instead.

Thanks for the tips on the grapes, the guy we bought them off actually put them in, we haven't given them any though
They are 9weeks out of the pouch and are very handlable

I thought they looked quite young, most breeders give them another couple of weeks before they take them from the parents. I'm sure they'll be absolutely fine though . What did the breeder advise you feed them?

[The_Chosen_One]

Leadbeaters, but researching beforehand I found that this isn't the best thing? due to excess sugar and the use of nutrobal? So we found some recipes on the sugar glider uk forum and are going to try them with that, blends of fruit and cat biscuits. Does that sound ok?

You should join the glider forum But yes, if you go by those recipes, you'll have super healthy furballs Then when you are feeling more confident, you can start making your own mixes
