  • Today I learned that sugar gliders are the devil.

  • Because no other pets ever bark in the night or bite, or pee on you or make a mess when they eat or need to have their cage cleaned, or live 15 years, or eat insects. If these things bother you please get a pet rock. All animals need forever homes.

  • @twincrier

    Dog eating bug off the ground =/= hand-feeding insects

    Cat has an accident on the carpet =/= untrainable glider that will defecate or urinate on you for the next 15 years

    I see your point and mostly agree, but exotics are not the same as bred and often trained animals that have been domesticated for centuries. They do take considerable more care than your average cat or dog, whether you believe it or not. Speaking from experience.

  • there goes that idea!

  • @ColaireProductions today, you were lied to

  • where can i rent one?

  • Now that i have FREE bugs in my house its only$300 +

    for a sugar glider to get rid of them for 15 yrs!!! guaranteed! lol my new commercial ad ;D

  • @twincrier

    you missed the point entirely.

  • @gigglebox2012 im sorry to hear that. I have a sugar glider and it's just awesome she does NOT pee on my shoulder or anywhere on my body.

  • This woman is almost all wrong if you really want the REAL info on a Sugar Glider or Sugar Bear go to the youtube channel -sugarglidervet- he shows the real information on sugar gliders and also makes you actually want a sugar glider.

  • @gigglebox2012 Ouch im sorry to hear that D: idk your situation but you should keep trying to convince her! this video may be true but its not like the bad of sugar glider happens ALL at once like this woman makes it sound. sugar gliders make up for it by being sweet and social :) i hope you get your pet!

  • The biggest drawback for me would be the whole "piss down your arm" thing. I have a black sweater that I wear everyday and I don't want the abdominal pocket leaking all the time. Particularly not with piss
