Sugar Gliders Introduction

Hi, my name is Alya Yazmin Hasnan, and I’ve been a proud owner of two sugar gliders for about 5 months. I am not professional sugar glider expert but I have experienced a few dilemmas every since I owned these two rascals. Such as prolapse, infection: protozoa, lack of appetite, loss of weight and vomiting.


So, if you’re thinking about getting sugar gliders as a pet, here are the most important facts you should consider.   First, sugar gliders can make wonderful companion pets – but like any animal, they aren’t
for everybody.  In fact, I always tell people that if you’re an “animal lover” – they’re a great pet… and if you’re not - then they’re a terrible pet.  

Now here are one of the advantages and disadvantage of owning a sugar glider and it is that, sugar gliders are known to be extremely playful and affectionate. Because of these loving traits, spending time with your gliders everyday is a must. Now sugar gliders are preferably social animals because of that, they tend to live in a colony. So, getting two gliders is better than one however the cost would be expensive. When you own two gliders the amount of time needed to spend time with them decreases.

The ideal time to play with your sugar glider would be about from 20 minutes to 40 minutes tops. but if you own one sugar glider the time needed would be triple the time of owning two gliders or not they will get depressed and eventually - DIE.

So what I am trying to say is that it is better to own two sugar gliders than one and if you have budgeted to get one sugar glider the i would advise you to open back your account book and revise back on that budget and purchase two gliders. Don't worry it may cost a lot of money but at the end og the day it is very worth to have these two adorable animal as your lifetime companion.
