Well it is always good to evaluate someone's expertise in pet care and the veterinary arts by measuring the number of verbal pauses they make. Well spotted 95Tsi9s.

This broad does not know wat shes tlking about look up a video from a real vet I can believe they even let her speak

[amir adzim]

not sure if thats sarcasm or serious.. or am i just stupid? ._.

[Shannon Williams]

oh a good information channel for sugar gliders is "Sugarglidervet" HE KNOWS EVERYTHING!

[Shannon Williams]

she does not know what she is talking about most of her topics. Their is now pellet food that is scientifically made to give them all the nutrients and food they need. They can be potty trained..... she can't potty train them. Oh and if don't want them to smell bad don't feed them insects, only fruit maybe 1-2 times a week, IF you are using the smart sugar glider pellets, which makes the cost to feed them around $5 a month.

I made a "kitchen" for mine out of a cake Tupperware. Now I just need to clean that out once a week and there's no splattering mess. I purchased my gliders from Granite state Gliders- an amazing breeder who also sells plenty of glider supplies, including specialized diet items.

every thing she said is 100 percent true,I've had 2 sugargliders now for 2 weaks and you can't handle them without getting bitten repeatedly,scratched up or pissed and shit all over.The sugarglidervet guy is full of sugarglidershit.

[Garrick Clark]

I seriously think you need to revise your sugar gliders diet.. You really don't need to give them a whole bunch of fruits and insects all the time.. Go check out sugarglidervet.. He is one of the leading sugar glider vets, and knows a lot more about them than this girl does.. She is telling you a bunch of nonsense..

[xXSlaughter3dXx]

so true! hell i go all out and put mine's food in a little toy thing and she LOVES and will sit there and work for it. preparation only takes like 10 minutes at most IF im assorting alot of fruit! now if you sit there and loom your hand over their tiny bodies trying to pick them up like a freaking monster they'll bite who wouldnt? i know i would!!
