I am thinking about getting a pair of Sugar Gliders, and I was wondering if any of you guys have ever how one or know anyone who does. Im just looking for alittle first hand knowledge.


Here are some pictures:

 

WTF! Where do you get those at and how much? I was wanting to get a hedgehog but Id have to drive 3 hours away to get one and thats at the decision of the breeder, this could be a better alternative.

 

I have heard of them but not sure where to get them.......... I bet Tyler would know though...

 

Most any local pet store would have them or be able to get them. The one I worked at several years ago would get them every now and then. They're interesting, but never did anything much while I was there because they sleep all day.

 

I had a roommate with them. They are not that much fun - expensive, nocturnal, need darkness, sleep when you're awake. Unless you have a forrest in your house, they won't be gliding anywhere. Get a ferret instead.

 

You can get them ususally at pet stores. I found some at the Friendly center pet store, but they want too much for them. You can usually find them for about 100-150. They have hedgehogs there for 125$

 

I want one, or a ferret. Sugar gliders smell less but I'd have ot keep it in another room as I'm not the best at sleeping with noises...

they're darn cute though and I love how they just crawl around on you for hours and don't seem to care, SUPER cute.

 

I had 2 before, cool creatures, but need lots of attention for them to be affectionet (wow sp on that one). We had to get rid of them because they started to attack each other. We had adopted them from a friends sister, she originally had 3, but the other 2 ganged up on it and ate him!! They will attack animals their size and smaller, but generally eat millworms and fruit nector (sp). So if you have lots of time at night go for it, but if you want a social life, wait till you are older and more likely to stay in then out, cause you will have some crazy creatures to deal with.

 

Dang Matt, it's going to be a zoo in your house. j/k. Cool animal.

 

Best advice with Sugar gliders is if you like them, talk your friend into getting them. They are definitely a PITA. Sleep all day, odd diet. And the ones I have been around are very talkative when they are awake. They make a very odd noise. All in all they are very cool animals but they really aren't great pets.
