Australian Sugar Gliders.

Went to a party and found a lady who had some Australian Sugar Gliders in her bag. Instantly I was in love with the wild little creatures. They are so cute!

I know, they're so cute! Aren't they? :D

They don't really have an odor. If you leave their waste there for a while, obviously it's going to smell bad. And I know that males, if they're not neutered, have this scent gland that'll emit this horrible smelling stuff often, but if they ARE neutered, then there's no problem. They're generally friendly, only eat as much as they need and are mostly predictable in their habits =) Good pets.

Ugh! I hate how they're just bred and sold like that overseas. No Australian marsupial should be treated like a domestic pet. You must have a permit here (in Aust) to keep a sugarglider and I think that, that should be the case overseas too.

ALSO, I have a copy of fictitious license of another of their websites-ASGA. The license says it is a factitious name. Pocket pets changed it to ASGV, to trick innocent Vets into taking their "Sugar Glider Course', giving just enough truth, so we will believe their lies AND to get the vets to promote their dry pellet type "food" like Nutramax & Vitamax. THEY ARE SAP SUCKERS, not Rodents! So alert your vet!

@bamagirl493 I bet you probably didn't know NASGA is a fake association made by the infamous mill breeder Pocket Pets.

If you're planning to buy one, go to this website and read ALL the information on it before you buy the sugarglider. The website I'm about to give you is the official NASGA (north American sugar glider association) site. The website is: mynasga.org

@kay2themax Hey,

Although that Gliders shouldn't be treated as a domestic pet, they live UP to 7 years in the wild,UP to 15 years in captivity.

@classy64jas Something like ... 1 suger glider per 1,000 square meters, and if you think that they live in groups of 9 aprox, that's going to take a lot of simulated habitat.

lmao, I find hte last comment 'probably hunted or something, right?' ... omg, are you guys that clueless about Aussie fauna? Haha

NO. They are not hunted. They have no natural Aussieland predators here. (Except for hte introduced cats, foxes and dogs, and humans that tend to steal them from their natural environment for illegal pet trades.)

@classy64jas Not unless you've got 1 acre or so of bushland with tall trees ...

@romanruler5 She's right though... they depend on their owners, it's an entirely different thing. Like Stockholm syndrome.

@RaccoonKit They put them here to eat insects and drink sap, and be a big part of the ecosystems in my country?

[hamskw]

what do they eat?
