I have had gliders for 20 plus years. I’m currently rescuing gliders from bad situations and I’m so glad I found your Chanel. ❤
Super helpful! I was nervous about what to do when I first get my gliders but you have definitely helped me feel more prepared. I never thought of the reading to them while in the cage, I will definitely try that. Thank you so much again for helping me and others with these videos!
Destinee Howard my pleasure
Talked me dad into getting me sugar gliders soon and have been doing lots of research so this is very helpful ☺
Glad I could help!
Another great video! All the things I wish I had someone to confide in when I first got mine!
Kitty Anthony thank you! This is why I’m doing this. To help people stop treading water and feeling over or underwhelmed with their gliders.
Can we use gloves to hold them
Thank you! This video was very informative 😊 I’m currently not in a place to adopt gliders, but it doesn’t hurt to educate myself some more ☺️
We are in the research stage of our Glider journey! This was wonderful. I took notes. Lol! Thank you so much!
Oh wonderful! Thank you!

Samantha Lyle I’m so glad
Get 2 unless you want a depressed one
@@meanguy1 if you have kept up with my previous comments I've made then you'd know that ive got 2 others that are 3 weeks OOP. So unless you want me to have babies to young to leave mom in my cage then maybe you should look into something before commenting. I'm aware that they need to be in groups, however, there isn't much I can do considering they are far to young for me to bring home. Thank you for your concern. 😒🙄🤨
@@sam.likes.youtube3283 Yes, of course I follow all of your comments, I'm fascinated by everything you have to offer, lol. Actually, no, I have never seen your comments and it would be disturbing to read through all of someone's past comments before making a comment of one's own. I hope you don't have that much spare time, if so, I'll pray for you.
@@meanguy1 I don't need you to pray for me. I am blessed. Just mind your business, that will suffice. :) Thank you.
dont have any yet but i will when i get older and i needed advice thanks
I am doing research I am wanting to get sugar gliders and this is so wonderful
These animals are so cute!
Very nice i loved your videos
Thanks for liking
Love it
Thank yooooou!
You are very welcome!!
I’ve been researching for months and love you videos, now I’m trying to purchase but don’t know where to start
Oh awesome! Thank you!! There are many reputable breeders out there but it can be I overwhelming. If you watch my “when I first got my sugar gliders “ video it has all the info for the breeder I chose in the description box.
I just got my suggies 2 days ago, i have been watching your videos religously lol thank you for your helpful tips n advice.
You are very welcome
nice vid!
Thank you!
Im one step away to getting my gliders! I've been doing a TSUNAMI of research these past few months and your videos are the most helpful researches that helps me prepare the most!(oh yeah i have a question can you sing when bonding with your suggies? Because i can't seem to stop singing😂)
Singing is absolutely perfect. I’m so glad the videos have been helpful!
I got my first sugar glider (pokketo momonga in Japanese) and looking for advice! Thank you so much for your video
Could you do a cage tour lol:)
equalizer625 I will 😘. On my spring cage cleaning video I do a short one too.
I bought mine yesterday, and I’m already bonding with it and playing with it and doesn’t bite me at all
That is great!
Oh my gosh I would of killed my sugar glider the first day if I had not found you I’m going to get my sugar gliders soon and now I’m fully aware of what and what not to do thank you 🙏
so i just got my glider and im kinda nervous thank you!
This is what i always do with my pets hehe. I don't read but i coo at them call their names and kinda talk to them (yes it's weird) but i guess now all my geckos, and past bunnies always familiar
that sounds great!
Iam getting my gliders in about 10 days!!! So excited 😆!!!
That is amazing! Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈
Thank you! 😊
great advice thank you! can you do a video where you are carrying a bonding pouch with a sugar glider in it pls because i dont know how to carry one with a sugar glider in it.
So you mean a zippered bonding bag that hangs around your neck? I’m happy to help but you really wear it like a necklace and just be careful you don’t let it sway to far forward whatever you lean forward 😊
My ratties get 12 hours of free roam and hours of interaction with me. Whisper never leaves her daddy and always stays on the bed. She always sleeps near me.
Where did you get that glider carry pouch? The one with the sugar gliders on it, it's awesome!
I sooooo wish I could remember! But I can’t! I hate my brain sometimes lol
I really want 2!! Have to drive 3 -1/2 hrs to the closest store. 😕
I have a question where did you get your bonding pouch?
Are there bonding pouch with a view so you could see them while there in the pouch?
2 joeys at home, the first one bonded with me within hours. But it demanded attention every night so after three nights I adopted another one, because I couldn't sleep well those three days. And the second one, willing to jump on me after over a month.
I just got my first sugar glider and need advice
I'm trying to get things ready for when I get my babies next month. I've already ordered my double critter nation cage, a cage set, kitchen and toys from sugar glider fairy, and a bonding scarf from morg's and friends. I'm looking for some regular zip pouches though and none of them have any, do you have any other vendors I could try?
You could try “the Kara pajamas “ or “sugar glider stitchery” on Facebook 🥰. Sounds like you’r babies will be well taken care of!
Hii do you recommend any good quality sugar glider stuff that is not too expensive
my dad says dont worry about bread and that you need a bit of bounce in your bowles... he says it in a yorkshire acent, I'd worry giving it to a glider.
You don’t give very much and only maybe once every year or 6 months. If you don’t feel comfortable doing it then for sure don’t do it.
Hello I am getting a sugar glider and I would want to know what you feed yours is it a good diet ? And if it is what is the diet
This was so helpful!Me and my sister are planing to get two gliders in about a year, and I’m sure this will make them more happy ( also is anyone else spending WAY to much money on them? Cause I don’t even have them and I’ve already spent around 1000 dollars😂)
Yes this is a very common symptom of owning sugar gliders 😂
On the multi-layer hammock style pouch...can you tell me where you purchased it?
I am sorry but I don’t remember
Hi, I'm thinking of getting two sugar gliders and have been binging a bunch of forums and videos just so I know I'd be a good fit for them. I didn't know if it'd be okay to ask you some questions about it...? My mom wants to have one from the bonding pair and we've been planning on bonding schedules and didn't know if the pair would be okay to be separated in the day- one being with her and another being with me- before we'd rejoin and have them together again after she returns from work. Would it be better to have them together and bond with them with one person at a time or would it be okay to separate them during the bonding process? I'm sorry if this is all incorrect, I'm still learning and haven't been able to find too much about this matter.
(Also, thank you so much for these videos, they've helped me immensely and are so darn informative!)
so thankful you are finding them helpful... bonding with them individually for a part of the day would be fine... I would probably not do it all day though since they get a lot of comfort from being together :)
@@sugargliderdiaries Sorry this is so late, but thank you so much for your advice! Sydney and Momo are doing fantastic together and your videos have been such great help! Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)
I'm not trying to sound rude but how do you TRANSPORT them in the car? With what? That would be super helpful 😊 love all your videos BTW. I'm a new Sugar Baby Momma! And I expect a disaster 😬
anyone know where to get the "safe" bonding bags for gliders?
wherer can you buy good boning pouches?

I’m getting sugar gliders soon and there nocturnal I know you can train then to be up during the day and sleep at night but I don’t know how can you do a video or let me know how to train them to sleep at night?
Is it noisy sleeping in the same room as the gliders?
I love that pouch! Did you make it?
Kristina Evans the kinda rounded one? I didn’t and I unfortunately can not remember where I got it 😭. Sad!
Hey ladies (I didn’t make your pouch your video shows but I do make the round pouch ) mine is called a knapsac!
Where do you get your bounding pouch from?
I really need help ive seen a couple of your videos but I’m just at a lost with my Sugar Glider
if did i not hear this in the video i’m sorry, i was wondering what i should bring my sugar gliders home in when i pick them up. i was thinking one of the bounding pouches that zip so they could they out in the car. just wondering!! thank you
Yes a zippered bag is perfect
Informative and even for someone who has 5 gliders, learning new things everyday. Where do you get your blue sugar glider pouch with zip?
I’m sorry I don’t remember
Can sugar glider live in same cage as hedgehog ? With a hedgehog ?
Thanks for the good video,I might really need this info,because I may be getting sugar gliders,But how many should I buy,Please help!!
At least 2 ♥️♥️
@@sugargliderdiaries thank you so much,just thank you I really appreciate that!!
Where did you get your pouches? Its really hard to find the double lined ones. Thank you
my recent haul video has lots of vendors listed. I can't remember where I got the one in this video
R we allowed to bring gliders to movie theater
I’m seriously thinking of getting sugar gliders myself. I suffer from depression and have health issues. I’ve been talking to someone who owns a pet shop and brought up the idea of possible getting gliders. Im thinking they would good idea apposed to getting a dog. I puppy-sit for my son and truly love little Tito. I also have terrible insomnia so I was thinking when they are up an about I’m usually awake.
Do you think gliders are a good idea for me?
Possibly 🥰. I would recommend getting them from a small breeder who breeds with lineage though. Do plenty of research first but sounds like they might be a good fit.
I just got sugar gliders but he keeps trying to bite me so I’m scared to pick him up with my hands
Hi I am trying to convince my mom and dad to let me get two sugar gliders and how to do that could you pls help me
Where is the best place to adopt gliders? Like a website? Sense I don’t have any breeders near me
I’m working on putting together a list
How can I connect with you
How long into the bonding process can I bring them in a zip up pouch into a store ?
It depends on the store... the bonding process can take weeks, months or years... there are too may factors to put a firm timeline on bonding :) Here is a video you might find helpful...th-cam.com/video/IWAbqSrPIzk/w-d-xo.html
Sugar gliders are perfect for me I have trouble sleeping so I'm probably nocturnal to LOL
What kind of pouch is that? I can't find any double lined fleece pouches.
th-cam.com/video/jz5oPxlOMkU/w-d-xo.html check out my new haul video. There are some good vendors on there.
Where did you get the double lined bonding pouch
Lindsey Stafford I’m honestly not sure. I purchased most of those 3 years ago 😐
How do you recommended bonding when there are kids in the house? Can they sit quietly in the room with me while i do the bonding?
Yes I just advised no sudden loud noise if possible and let them settle in gradually 🥰
heyy,i just got my glidder. at 1st when i bought it,it seems friendly but once its in the carry pouch its starting to make crabbing sounds few time when i brought him to home. i dont know how to take it out so i put the whole carry bag and unzip it,and put inside the cage. and my glidder dont wanna come out and when u try to show my back of the hand he kinda wanna bit it. should i just let the bag inside the cage?
Some zippered bags are not made to be put in the cage and would not be safe to do so. If it is safe you could leave it in the cage like a pouch. Sounds like your glider needs a little space and may not be ready for the bonding bag phase. I have a bonding video you might like and I have a bunch more for new owners coming. th-cam.com/video/IWAbqSrPIzk/w-d-xo.html
I have a question I got my male glider yesterday. He was crabbing alot, my voice seemed to calm him, but today I put my hand by him in the cage and he lunged at me. I have given treats and he took them. Is there anything I can do to make sure he won't bite me? He's only 8 weeks.
Hi there! I am going to link a couple videos that I think you will find helpful... that is totally normal behavior... baby steps with these guys in building trust! th-cam.com/video/IWAbqSrPIzk/w-d-xo.html, th-cam.com/video/eaF-qbpUj5E/w-d-xo.html
I just got one sugar glider, she's nocturnal and so am I (starting to) !
haha! Yes many sugar glider owners are "nocturnal" haha
I might be too late but consider getting a second glider. Its always better to have a pair (never introduce two un-neutered males.) Gliders very social animals and some become depressed if they're alone :(
alysha allison yes very true! Having at least two is very important!
Ah I see, well at the moment I can't help but see that Mimi seems very happy on her own (she better be cause her owner turned nocturnal)
Im also going to get a sugar glider in 6 days! Also, do i need to buy 1 or 2 sugar gliders?
Congratulations. You will need two. Be sure the boys are neutered
I have sugar glider now 3 weeks from me but still scared no bonding much to me not still stay in my body he jump😂
im kind of nervous because the cloth that i use is really thin... is that safe? or is there a type of cloth that is saver to use? and how long should i keep the cloth in my bra before putting it in their cage
Only anti pill fleece is recommended for in the cage.
im getting my surger gliders today im so excided
Yay very exciting
@@sugargliderdiaries i just got home and im giving them time to get settled in!!!!
Referring to your comment on your goals with the the sugar gliders, if I want them to sleep in a pouch with me during the day when could I have tent time with them? I would like to do both
Yes those two goals are not conflicting. You just shouldn’t do rent time when you are training them to stay in you when they are out of a pouch. 😚
@@sugargliderdiaries and another question bc I love watching all your videos and trust you so much, if they stay in a pouch all day with me sleeping should I worry about hydration? I read somewhere that some people throw a slice of apple in there for the two gliders to eat and stay hydrated with. I plan on doing tent time with them towards dinner time once they are fully awake. What time do you feed your gliders aswell?
Where do you get your bonding pouches?
lots of different places. Morgs N Friends on Etsy make the scarfs and those are my favorite kind
can you do a video on how to convince your parents to let you have a sugar glider
@Anthorn _ K thanks
I amnow desperate for some sugar gliders and i live in the uk none of the breeders will respond to my nice emails. I'm willing to travel. Please help? I don't care if one is shy so long as they don't get agressive unless its unaviodable. please reply. I have lots of free time and space and i want to build them a very large dome to fly around in wiith trees. I get my own space in 18 months so i can make something with perspec in the garden with holes and shade and climbing trees inside. Also they need a water shower now and then they like that so perhaps a sprinkler.
Ashton Grist so glad you are so excited about sugar gliders. Unfortunately I don’t have any information about breeders in the UK. As far as the dome with plants and water showers I don’t believe there is a safe way to do that. Gliders can not get wet! They can get very very sick if they get wet and don’t get dried off immediately. They also need a range of temp that would not work with an outside enclosure. The soil and plants would also not be easy to reproduce in captivity. I have seen many people ask if there is a safe way to do this and I have never heard a positive response. Please revise your plan for housing 😊. Also you will want at least two as they can get depressed and ill if housed alone. Thank you for watching! Keep doing research 😊
I’m having difficulty finding a breeder in my area what do you think I should do?
Where are you located?

You might be annoyed I keep commenting on your videos, That’s completely fine! I understand, I just have a question if your willing to answer.
I’m very scared of bugs, But I understand they need meal worms and I’m willing to give them those.
I’m just wondering if you need to give them any other bugs, Or do the meal worms need to be live?
I’m just wondering to be prepared, Even if I’m scared of bugs I’m willing to hopefully change and give me sugar gliders a good home!
I do not get annoyed at all! I love interacting with my subscribers! Plus the more comments and likes a video gets, the more TH-cam shows the video to more more people, so It is a win win :)
Gliders do not "need" bugs. they can eat the dried but most don't prefer them that way. I HATE meal worms personally and only gave them dried for 3 years until I was at a friend's house and she offered a meal worm to my gliders and they got so excited! It was so cute so I decided at that point to get over my fear and just do it lol.
Your gliders can live full and happy lives without them though so that is totally up to you!
Sugar Glider Diaries Thank you for letting me know! I thought meal worms were a need. I’m also not a fan of meal worms, So thank you so much for helping me out so much! I feel like this is the only place I can get good answers and knowledge for my sugar gliders! Thank you so much for answering all my questions and further ones! Your sugar gliders are so lucky to have a great home!
Is it possible to bring an 18 month old sugar glider into another group?
Yes it is. I brought my 3 yr old rehome into my colony of 3. Those videos are also on my channel
Would you recommend doing all this with a rescued SugarGlider as well?!
Yes, but first a vet check.
what about cleaning their cage? If I'm on ground zero, how could I clean it without my sugar glider getting stressed?
It's day one and my sugar glider's cage stinks.
When gliders get really nervous they can do Whois called skunking. They smell way worse in the first few days than they will normally (except if you have an unneutured male). I would not clean the cage for the first few days. An air purifier really helps too.
@@sugargliderdiaries Thank you for your response! Your Videos really helped.
I’m so glad!
