Sugar Gliders :)

[SteveCourty]

Hello, my girlfriend is interested in getting a pair of female Sugar Gliders, i have found a website that seems quite informative: Feeding Pet Sugar Gliders

I was just wondering if any one kept them and had any more helpful advice??

Thanks
Steve

Avoid the Leadbeater diet recommended on there, it's full of sugar. The US and the UK have very different ideas about what's good for suggies, they prefer sugar laden recipes where as we don't. Try my UK suggie forum, it's helped loads of people keep their suggies healthy and happy

From what i heard you REALLY need to KNOW if you want these. Especially two.

They are often snappy and bite at first and are very very active. They take constant work and once they are attatched to you you're like their habbitat and they cling to you.

More so than dogs.. SO really look them up

TBH Glittersniffer, you'd need to give MORE care to just ONE suggie than you would two. Being social animals they can become depressed and overgroom or self mutilate if they are kept alone.
