The way your sugar gliders coat looks has a lot to do with how you feed them and if fed properly they do have very shiny and soft coats. They are the sweetest creatures ever. There's a true story I know about a guy who had cancer and was on his death bed and because all the man ever did was cough the sugar glider thought it was his way of communicating so the sugar glider started making the same noise and would never leave the man's side. When the man died the little sugar glider grieved. It was sad to say the least. Either way, you get the point.The Kay wrote:Heroine -- a few weeks ago I ran into a man in a pet store and he had his sugar glider with him. He got it when it was just four weeks old and he had to bottle feed it for a while. This man was a paraplegic, and his little glider just rode around with him. When he was shy, he'd run down the collar of his owner's shirt and stay there for a while. This man never had to worry about the glider running away from him. The glider's coat was sooooo soft! They're cute!
Sugar gliders make all kinds of noises, I'll find you some videos.
Now I know someone who has done it and you said everything I read in the article.
One of the people in that article was a man with a full beard and he said the little buddy would nest in it and sleep
How cute you guy is. Have you trained him to glide to you from places? I read that can be done

That is just the neatest thing. I had never even heard of them before.

Say I wanted to get my son a sugar glider.... (I would be taking care of it.) How would I go about that?
Oh... and might Silas eat it? I guess so.... He likes to eat unfamiliar things.

If I were you and I were going to get one. I would first find a small-scale breeder somewhere near you, then I'd educate myself on the proper way to take care of them (food-wise, the environment they should live in (the cage you should buy)etc)tapu wrote:Say I wanted to get my son a sugar glider....

Silas is that a cat? If so just make sure to not have them in the same room together. Eventually they may like each other. who knows?

how's he doing, BTW?
He's doing fine. I, on the other hand, am SICK of cleaning his poop!
He really is not a good pet. He is nocturnal. He likes to stay inside small enclosures. I'd have to shake him out of his tube to get him, and it would scare him. My having all these dogs is probably the biggest problem. When I've got Spike out, they're dying to see what he is. Even if I shut them out of the room, all the noise just scares Spike.
So, I feed him and clean his cage. He comes out after all the lights are out, and he's asleep by the time we get up.
He really needs socialization, and he's not getting it here.

I believe that, at one point in time it used to be a role of toilet paper.dabobkat wrote:what did the dogs shred

the funny part is, Mr EJ was stinking up the bathroom at the time that shot was taken. I ducked my head in and held my breath just long enough to get the shot.
Crazy cat!

Doc Z - that is one handsome boy!
Check this out as a pet ... I'm not one to approve of wild animals as pets, but this one would sure be a head-turner! http://www.peoplepets.com/photos/strange/life-with-the-world-s-largest-rodent/1

...so this morning before I left work a duck came to the back porch of the hotel (we're on a waterway) and laid eggs !!! ...well,tonight when I came back to work she's nowhere to be found and I'm afraid she may have deserted the eggs so I went online to find out if that could happen if someone touched the eggs or something,all I find out is that she may not have laid all her eggs yet and she'll come back...I hope so...it seems like there's not much I could do if she really deserted them
