In Loving Memory

Sugar gliders are exotic pets, they are sold under pretense of being simple, easy, and cheap to care for. This is NOT true, they require a lot of daily work, a huge cage or room, a special diet, and most importantly an exotic veterinarian. If you run across people selling them at conventions or fairs Buyer Beware (don't be fooled like we were). Please do your research, they are incredibly cute but require a ton of time, work, special accommodations, and no matter how hard we try, humans are unable to recreate their natural environment or their diet. However, now that we have them we will never stop trying to get as close as possible. Me and my husband built a huge custom enclosure so they have sufficient space. They require warm temperatures so they have their own bedroom that is temp. controlled, and I spend a minimum of an hour a day preparing their food, cleaning, doing their dishes, and more. I also have hand made all their pouches and toys by hand because a lot of the "safe" toys were indeed not safe at all. They also have a strong odor if fed a correct diet, the sales people will try to tell you they have very little smell but that is also untrue. So if someone tells you they are easy, please do not believe them.
