Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the tips , I’m getting sugar gliders soon and I really needed someone to clear out the lies of taking care of a sugar glider, again, thank you :D
Hi do u kbow of anyone who has cheap gliders
Same I getting them to
@@kelsiemoore7332 ik 5his is late but mostlikely not bc they are not cheap animals
Thank you for this! I am really doing a lot of research on suggies because one day I hope to get two of my own ☺️ I love your channel and keep up the awesome work!
I never knew about about the cat saliva thing! You practically just saved my future gliders some tough times. I'll make sure to wash my hands extra well if I pet my cats before feeding/caring for the gliders.
My sugar baby’s love to bark when they what attention and when they are hungry and they get a kick out of it but I still love them.❤️❤️❤️
I’m glad to see you posting again! You were my main source of information before I made the decision to buy my pair six months ago and I plan to keep watching. I love learning more about sugar gliders and their care.
The last myth is one of the ones that frustrates me the most! I’ve heard of people trimming their suggie’s teeth before and then wondering why they’re having trouble eating. It honestly breaks my heart!
Thank you! ❤ Actually I used this little known fact to help me decide which vet I should go to when I first got them. I asked the vets that pretended to have seen Sugar Gliders a very, very simple question "Their teeth are super long and I would like to have them trimmed, do you offer that service and have you done it before?" "Yes, yes of course"...way too many vets have answered "yes". A sad fact.
Loved it ! The most HONEST video so far. Thanks so much for taking the time. So much misinformation out there
Oh I'm so happy right now! Hope you are well. Great video and thanks for continuing the work.
I am researching A BUTTLOAD about suggies! This video was very helpful! I knew most of the things you talked about but I love it when people confirm what I already know. I am getting critter nation with a wheel from exotic nutrition. Along with many many many toys and “hanging nests”. I am planning on buying an older bi fed pair from a breeder. Now I just have to save up a lot of money and convince my parents😂😉
(You just got a new subscriber!)
Edit- I realized that when I said “I have to convince my parents” that I sounded young. I am 13 and I have a bunny (we are getting her a friend soon since they are social animals) and a turtle. I am very responsible and I know to do my research and be calm around small animals!
May I suggest a different wheel? The ones from exotic nutrition are ok, but there are much better suggie wheels out there
www.sugarglider.info/housing/safe-wheels/ I think the fact that you are willing to pay for your own pets already shows a lot of responsibility, I am also very happy that you are doing lots of research before purchasing. I believe you are going to make a great suggie parent :-)
I’m so glad you made this! You’re a source that people CAN trust. Everything in this is very accurate! Big fan of your channel!
Thank you!❤
I took one of my gliders to the vet because he had a gland infection under his eye a long story short it cost me over $400 to fix it and that was just one visit they are expensive but it was worth it
They are always worth it ♥
My sugar gliders ran for cover when they heard the Lily barking clip while I was watching you on my computer. LOL
While I was editing the video Lily heard herself bark so she starked to bark in real time too :-D
Great video! Informative, concise & thoughtful.
*Thanks for the info....when I hear “exotic” what I’m really hearing is delicate special love and care. Btw, what in the world is that squealing sound in the background. Is that your suggies? It’s super cute*
😂😂😂 oh...it’s your WASHING MACHINE!!! Lol. That’s hilarious. Well your washing machine sounds cute 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing ur sugar glider information very well informed and very helpful just as helpful a vet information , I appreciate ur commitment and dedication towards sugar gliders and sharing ur experiences and information, thank you I enjoyed watching ur video
Omg, one of mine is named Lily and barks so much too!
Yes I would love to see which wheel to buy
I have just got 2 sugars and want a safe wheel thx
I love this video. so informative... I want to hear more about gliders. I'm planning to add a pair to my family and its so nice to watch this
Love your info! I've wanted gliders for about 13 years, but I only rescue animals, and only take what I can handle 😊 currently we have two dogs who came from kill shelters in the states! Came across two gliders that are owned by a drug addict... they aren't getting the food they require or supplements or Love, she is an animal hoarder! Your info is really helping me prepare to go pick the two babies up 💜
Hi I m an owner for 14 years now I had a colony almost all passed away due to old age and not my remaining glider is turning 14 in a few weeks
The wheel you suggested is not suitable for gliders sorry
Any wheel with either square net wheels or wheels with Long sticks in the middle is dangerous for some reasons
Net wheel( most buy so the p and pooop goes through it to stay clean as much as possible but it can cause them to break bones if their nails are not properly trimmed the sticks if you find a wheel with one can rip off their tails and if you use a sanding paper for wheels to trim their nails it will rub on their skin and cause fungus infections)
Silent wheels with safety caps for the tails and full on covered floors with no holes is suitable best
If anyone is finding sleeping hard with active gliders I suggest play time 3 hours before bed and if you don't have the energy then watch a show or play a game while you let your little one run around the room (I prefer to have my whole bedroom glider safe with nothing dangerous to chew on and not a single hole they can get stuck in) not many are comfortable with the idea but I can promise you that there will be no barking at night if you let them have this much space and a minimum of 3 hours before lights out and they will be happy and the only noise will be jumping around or wheel running which shouldn't be a problem.
What an awesome video! There is alot of misinformation out there
When my sugar glider bit me it was painful and bloody
Like a bee sting ?
Marco Robles well it’s not as painful but yes it is like a bee sting.
Are they bark loud enough to disturb the neighbours??? 🤔🤔🤔 very good videos, thanks for that!
They can be quite loud and the neighbours will hear them if you have thin walls.
@@AwesomeSugarGliderMommy thank you for replying. 🤔🤔🤔 🙂
This is very helpful thank u and would love a wheal video
Thank you ! Very informative !
I never understand why people say animals don't bite like if it has a mouth it will bite
Funny. I saw a "doctor" mentioning these things and they felt counter intuitive. He even compared squishing the sugar gliders to kids in the supermarket having a tantrum.. it seemed strange and just not right
I’ve had a colony for 12 years everything she said is right.
Nice video . Thanks
Very informative! 👍
Thank you so much I get 2 sugar glider at the beginning of next summer and I was going to get diapers thank you for telling me
Diaper really ??
They also say geckos don’t smell, (I think there unable to smell things)
thanks to make videos, informing about sugies. that said, you could improve by waiting till your washing mashine is done before recording your videos.
Is that what the sound is
How long do you introduce before housing them together? First introduction went well. A little chittering at each other but not much 2 of them just cuddled and only one crabbed but they were fine afterwards.
As long as it takes - until they don't react negatively when they spend time together😊
Thanks for the info I have two sugar gliders and me and my mom still wanted to know some more things about them. My mom didn’t know if she needed to trim the boy’s teeth, because they were long but thanks to you we know not to.
so glad you are posting again, just got 2 suggies and need advice.
i use honey as treats, but can you ever give them to much honey?
are there any diy treats i can make for them?
tips on toys?
Last question, the breeder i purchased from didnt seem to be very clued up on suggies and i only realized after. she never handled them and now they are so scared and frightened of me, any advice? i use the bonding pouch often, put old clothes in there cage, give them treats as much as possible but they are terrified. when i open there cage they just try and escape and then i have to chase them around the house which is more traumatic. i try bath time bonding but they just hide away. advice?
As fellow owner, I hope you don't mind me sharing my answer.
I also have frigthened glider in the beggining, but usually I started to introduce myself by hand feeding my glider. Then if I want to bring her outside, I use the bonding pouch and usually put the pouch under my shirt(if I have to do my work at that day) or I just speak to my glider as if she is a new friend(this does make me like a crazy person but I do want to be bonded to my glider)
My glider always hate bath time(after 6 years, still hate it), so I don't think it is a good idea to bond during this time
.
.
What I always tell myself "gliders are small animal, imagine if someone bigger than you suddenly pick you up and poke at you. It is very scary for you, isn't it?" So do try to speak slowly(and with low voice) and gently play with them when you want to introduce yourself. It does take time depends on the personality of the gliders(one of my glider take 4 months until she gave me her approval to play with her)
@@ranireinya thank you very much, I really needed some input❤
First of all thank you Rania for your quick reply!
You can give too much honey and it would not be good for their teeth or their weight (in the long run) but a little bit of honey every now and again will not hurt them. The easiest diy treat is simple dried fruit. I have a video on a mixture of dried fruits, flowers and some more stuff and they really love that so you could try it out for your suggies too - check out my other videos, one of them is on me making the mix.
Advice on bonding...I have a whole video on that as well so please watch that. My first two were just like yours and they have adjusted really well to being handled but they are not as friendly as my other two that were handled by their breeder - but still, you can and you will "tame" them if you spend a lot of time with them. Make sure that the light is not too strong during bath time, it might be that they are simply hiding from the light. What you can do is always shake the container with treats before giving them something, do that for a couple months until they learn that when they hear that sound they will get treats and then, when you are bonding with them, take your container, shake it and they will probably come out to get some treats :-)
Suggies are quiet: oh dear, my little chika always bark at 3am or whenever she pleased or if the colony feeling like a glutton and eat all the food before morning come.
Suggies great for kids: oh God, please stop this. There was one time when I go to a suggies community and they told the curious people "you can give this as a present for your kids"
Just a fact that a breeder only care about money and become the leader of the community, it was enough and I just quit.
I remembered talking to other suggies mommy that quit the community at the same time as me and she told me that there was one time someone come to that breeder while saying "my kid drop her bag and accidentally kill the glider. Can you give me a replacement?"
Suggies need their teeth to be trimmed: all I feel like saying to whoever say that
"Oh honey, do you mind if I trimmed your teeth? It is too large for your face. Don't worry, it would be a quick cut with a trimmer"
I just love talking about sugar gliders ^^
You do forget to add: "please watch your suggies weight. While they are cute when they are overweight, it is not good for the long run"
Somehow people just love to see them being fat and fluff that they forget their suggies couldn't even jump from one place to another
True, Rania! Overweight suggies can get very unhealthy that is why keeping them on a heathy staple diet is very, very important!❤
1.) I don't have cats, only dogs. My dogs are VERY good with my rats, mouse, and hamster. We've done extensive training and we still NEVER leave them alone together.
Honestly it doesnt matter wether the cage is small or not, as long as the sugar glider is HEALTHY and HAPPY.
While a happy gliders is generally a healthy glider, a small cage means they can't use their bodies properly to exercise (jump and glide) so they can get stiff muscles or have issues with their bones which in turn means they will not remain healthy for too long.
I see you have vertical bars for the cage. I have been reading that they harm their hands.
Don't worry, they don't :-)
Awesome Sugar Glider Mommy okay awesome. I also have vertical bars but they seem happy in their home thank you for getting back to me much love I have two gliders ones a neutered male and other is not neutered yet.. ones name is peppy and other is stitch
hi glider mom! just wanna ask a couple of question regarding of imports / bringing of sugar glider inside the california state would be illegal..because i'm here in the Philippines & i love my sugar gliders bringing them whenever i go and we will migrating to US soon.. i'm worried if i can bring my glider to US.. can you please share me some ideas or suggestion, it would help me a lot..thanks..
Hi! I am afraid I cannot give you any legal advice. I recommend you reach out to a veterinarian local to where you want to move to and ask them for advice on how to do everything the right way and how much money you will spend on that. Furthermore, try to find suggie owners local to that area and talk to them about finding the best vets, stores for suggie supplies and so on.
Keep in mind that their safety should be your top priority in this process. Wishing you all the best! :-)
Just wanted to add I have learnt that sugar gliders do not need sun light during the day it can actually be harmful or kill them so please keep ur sugar gliders out of the sun they're not meant to be in the sun , just wanted to add what I've learnt in the time I've had my sugar gliders and I have 2 cats that I don't let my cats be around or interact with my gliders its not safe and cats can kill ur gliders and the cat saliva to a glider can be very toxic and harm or kill them beside that ur cat saliva if bites a glider will kill a glider , be responsible when it comes to cats and dogs around sugar gliders not recommended
So it’s ok to use a double critter nation right? Thinking about getting a sugar glider I’m thinking if I get a sugar glider I’ll get a pair of 3 but I might have to go 2 I have awhile to think about it though as I can’t get one currently
Yes, a double Critter Nation is a good cage for a small pair or trio and you can always expand it if you have some money available. Only important thing is to make sure you buy the Critter Nation, not the Ferret Nation - they look almost identical, but the bar spacing from the Ferret Nation is too wide for sugar gliders :-)
Can you do a video on wheels
Video has been filmed and edited, it will go live in a couple weeks so stay tuned! ❤
I rescued my sugar gliders a year ago and I haven't been able to hold them, the female was sick for 2 days and she let me hold her, in fact I put her in my bra and she stayed they without wanting to get out,after 2 days she started to eat and drink, but after i put her back in the cage her mate would not will not let me hold her at all. Can I separate them so I can get her to trust me again??? HELP!!! I really want to hold them and get them to trust me. I'm afraid to let them out because I'm not fast enough to catch them, I'm in a wheelchair and it's hard for me to get on the floor if they run away. The only time they let me pet them is when I fed them hornworms. Can they live in a wood cage?
Separating them so you can bond better is not a good idea. Can you ask a friend for assistance? Have them be around you for support if one of them needs to be put back in the cage at some point?
I have a different video on different ways to approach them when bonding, please check that out. The fact that they are o.k. with being touched when they eat their worms is a good start!
I would avoid keeping them in a wooden cage and those can get very dirty and smelly very fast and will also cause their coat to look dirty.
We have been asked to take in a few neglected gliders and your info has really helped!. All 3 have amputations of either legs or tails and other deformities etc. They were a bad neglect case that are coming in. So, I have a tarantula room that we keep super warm and all my tarantula are in lockable terrariums. We are considering using the same Rom as we live in an often cold climate in Canada and we keep the tarantula room warm all the time. Can you suggest humidity levels for the gliders? Our tarantula room is a bit humid and I would hate them to become Ill or be prone to respiratory issues if they have too much humidity. They will have supervised time in all the house too though. Can they handle small temp.changes when going or hanging out in another room? Hubby and I both work from home and are night owls. Do you think having a lot of bonding and regular time will help them become used to us or do you think so much time with us and around us in the same room etc will stress them.out? We will of course start in small ways and slowly increase their handling and contact depending on their reactions, medical needs and so on. One with an new amputation of her arm and part of her tail(was attacked by a previous owners dog) will need daily meds and bandage changes and 2 males have been neutered that will.need wound cleaning. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated. I will likely be back if the vet isn't able to answer day to daycare questions. The lady leaving rescue is bringing them next week so we have time to build a special cage 8'×6' with modifications for the disabled gliders. Anyway, thank you kindly for so much help. Im cramming as many videos as I can before we pick them up. Cheers and best wishes!
Hi! Thank you for offering the neglected babies a new home and for being so motivated in offering proper care! 😊 I don’t measure humidity in my apartment, but I can sense it on my own skin when the air is too dry, so I always try to keep the levels high enough that my skin doesn’t hurt. Normally I let the humidifier run for an hour every day or every other day. From your description it sounds like the room you are considering might be a bit too humid. They can handle temperature changes, it’s just not wise to take them into a room that is too warm or too cold (ideally the temperature should be somewhere around/between 21°C-25°C) so you can move them from room to room as long as the room temperature is ok. Maybe for the first few weeks it is wiser to leave them alone and interact less with them until they get used to your voices and your smell and then you can gradually increase contact/bonding. It will be difficult to change the bandages of the hurt suggie, I suggest you do this early in the morning, about 1h after they went to sleep and offer lots of mealies. Maybe your vet can show you exactly how to hold them in place without hurting them so that changing the bandages can be done fast. In preparation you and your husband should keep fleece squares close to your bodies and put them in their sleeping pouches so that they get used to the new smell fast. Also try to keep a few of their old items in the new cage so they also have their familiar scent around them.
What I would recommend is to have a lot of hammocks close to the floor area so that she gets caught if she falls from the top of the cage and reassess the situation after a month or two (see if she really has trouble moving around once the wounds are healed). Warm regards 😊
OMG thank you so much... I almost fell for a bunch of lie before buying them... I did know about the fact you're not supposed to have just one but the rest- they really lied to me- dkdjjdjdjdjdj they are still so cute tho... what temperature should they be at tho
Hey I know this video is older but I’ve just rescued two gliders. Everything is going fine.
Currently the pair of them are in a 2ft by 1.5ft by 3ft cage. (3ft high) I’ll be upgrading them soon.
Searching for my different options I’ve found that cat cages are cheaper and bigger then rodent cages. The one I’m looking at is 3 by 2 by 5.5 ft.
I was wondering if I were to modify it so that they couldn’t fit through the bars If it would make an good cage.

bonding tips?
2022*
I'm researching for quite a while about cat saliva being toxic to gliders. I have a really hard time finding proper sources for this topic. I only find people in forums say "I read somewhere" or I found one owner talking about their experience, when a glider got bit by the cat (both weren't introduced to each other, the glider escaped) & then died.
Do you know vet-websites explaining this topic? Also why the cat saliva is toxic & in what circumstances? For example if it's only dangerous, when the glider gets actually bitten or if it's toxic even just by digesting it.
I mean, even if owners doesn't let their cat near their gliders, the owners would've cat saliva all over them. For example just by petting the cat (cat saliva is all over cat fur), or by having cat fur on the clothes, furniture, floor etc. So, technically an owner would need every time they want to touch their glider to disinfect their hands, change their clothes (plus clothes need to be washed in very high temperature) & the glider should never put one foot in a room, where a cat had access too, plus the owner should pay a lot of attention not getting any cat fur into the glider room (by air flow f.e.). I mean, if cat saliva is that toxic, one cat hair would be a death sentence for a glider. But that is practically impossible to do...so no cat owner would be able to own a glider. Or if they do, they would risk the gliders life on daily basis.
But I never read anywhere that a cat owner needs to be so careful...only that a cat shouldn't be near a glider. So, I suspecting it's maybe not dangerous when digesting, but only if the cat actually bites the glider & the bacteria goes directly into the blood stream. (Though I guess a glider would die from that bite wound with cat saliva or not...)
And since you mentioned that you know some people saying that their glider & cat got along, it seems really like the saliva isn't bad for the glider just by digesting it. If it were, those gliders would be dead very quickly. But that is just my guess...I really would like to find some sources.
Hope you can help?
If I had to go into detail I'd probably explain it similarly to how you just have. I always try to make it a habit to say "can" and not "will" when talking about their reaction to cat saliva. I don't know of any studies but I can tell you where this whole story originated. You can actually search for it yourself, just search for "Magic Maci" on TH-cam. Already injured from a Wodent Wheel Maci got injured by a cat and the saliva got into her blodstream and it was horrible for her. She self mutilated, she was pooping blood...you can read the exact story if you watch that video. I'll be honest, I don't know of any other stories or sources regarding sugar gliders, this is just something that is being strongly advised against, especially since Maci.
But you can do a quick Google search if you want if confirmed that even people can react badly to cat bites. And most of the forums/articles will advise against sugar gliders interacting with cats because of this but no one actually goes into detail and gives out any sources for research.
Thank you for the answer. I will look into Maci's Story. Ah, yes I heard that cat bites can lead to severe infection for people...I can imagine it being even worse for a tiny glider.
When it's only dangerous when the glider gets bitten, then I guess a cat owner still can own gliders without disinfecting their whole body every time they want to handle the gliders.
If I have a garden in my house, is it OK if I place the cage there?
I wouldn't as it can still get very cold, different animals can get inside their cage, they could get ill from drafts, ... Better to keep them safe inside 😊
my question: have you ever heard of an american sugar glider mill broker called pocket pets? what is your opinion on them? i personally hate them and want to do everything in my power to shut them down. most of the facts in this video were presented originally by them. >=(
Great people. Gotta love em'.
@@Purpose_Porpoise ??
@@SillySugarGliders I hope you saw my answer. They really don't like it when people talk publicly against them. Many groups on Facebook even have rules to protect their members, like what phrases to use in order to avoid getting sued by them 😅
@@AwesomeSugarGliderMommy its not a facebook group
@@SillySugarGliders Of course it's not, but it's public nevertheless. I dislike them a whole lot, I have read many facts that made me come to my conclusion. But, publicly, it is best if you just state your opinion and ask the other person to do more research on their own. You don't even have to search a lot, you can find so many websites that show the true colours of PP. Simply avoid any website that uses the word "sugar bear" - because only PP affiliates use the term "sugar bears" to differentiate themselves and to make sure their customers search for "sugar bears" and only find their websites where they can promote the PP propaganda.
Would it be okay for a 12 year old to care for one though? My daughter loves them so much and would be so so so carful would it be ok for her to get one she will be turning 12 in August on the 28th in 2022
If you would like to get her Sugar Gliders, but are willing to support with taking care of them, help making their food, take them to the vet if needed, help with cleaning, ... then it should not be a problem. Please keep in mind though that Sugar Gliders should not be kept solitary so you should buy at least 2 :-) As long as you do your research along with your daughter so you are both informed and will step in should she ever need support, I don't see a problem with having them as pets :-)
I have to say sis, don't mind being a suggie sister do you? Well anywho bless you dear child for you may have saved my suggies lives little did I know about the cat saliva and I'm grateful for you making sure we are very aware of this fact..
I’m 13 and I have sugar gliders
🙌 🙌
does anyone have a ten year old sugar glider that is lonely - we could porovide a home for such a lonely sugar glider. you know they need pals
I’m about to get sugar glider do they poop allot and pee ???
do you bathe your sugar babies? and is it common for your gliders to lose there young and eat them?.
Could you please tell the dimensions for small?
What if it is necessary to wash a sugar glider? Like he got something on his fur or something in this sort, should I leave them to clean themselves or do I bathe them? And if yes what would be a safe way of doing so
You can wipe them with a damp cloth and keep them very warm until they are completely dry, however I would avoid washing altogether unless really necessary (like if they fell in chocolate pudding,...).
How loud are they exactly? I live in an apartment and I don’t want to keep my family up or anyone else up during the night with my sugar gliders. I really want some but the noise could be an issue for the apartment.
They make noise. Depends on their personality, but they are certainly not quiet animals :-)
Is it ok to have a medium sized bird cage even if I let them roam around. I am saving up for a sugar glider cage that’s bigger but right now I can’t afford that
No, they really do need a lot of space to stretch out. Check out the suggies groups on Facebook for recommendations. I would not recommend anything smaller than a double critter nation 😊
If I want to give my sugar glider veggies, should I cook the veggies or give it them raw? Veggies like corn, carrots, etc
No, you can serve almost everything raw (but washed). If you would peel it for yourself, then peel it for them too.
Sorry
Hey u want a tip your bars are not good for sugar gliders
what fruits can i feed them that wont make them smell bad???
If they eat a proper diet (check out sugarglider.info - staple diets), they will not smell bad! :-)
I saw a leash on Amazon I was horrified. I also have a female glider and she doesn't like my male glider. I'm getting her another male since my other Male and female or bonded how do I introduce her to him so it goes smoothly?
Intros depend a lot on the personalities of the suggies. Here's a good overview on intros www.sugarglider.info/care/intros/
Is it okay if ants get into your sugar glider’s cage?
You should remove the ants as soon as possible. Try cleaning the whole cage and the whole room/floor with water+a few drops of eucalyptus oil. The smell will deter ants.
I’m thinking of buying one myself but all of the people they would be around like 10-14 teens and I don’t know if that is ok
I am not sure what your question is, but you should only buy two or more :-)
Awesome Sugar Glider Mommy Ok thanks for the advice
I'm twelve...can i get a sugar glider? Or does it depend on what type of person i am?
It depends on how much time and effort you are willing to invest. You have to understand that bonding with them is a lengthy process, preparing their food and keeping them clean takes time and then, of course, you need to either afford a good vet (especially for emergencies) or your guardians should be willing to financially support you. Furthermore, at your age you have many things to do and should consider getting sugar gliders only if your guardians are willing to also help with taking care of them :-)
How long do they usually like for a walk. I let them out 6 hours ago and I called them for dinner and nothing. I'm wondering if I should get them a cage at all
What did you let them out of if not a cage? Sugar gliders are very independent, they don't normally respond to calls.
@@AwesomeSugarGliderMommy can i hire you to dress up as a sugar glider and to caretake mine for when i have a mansion.. nothing predatory and you dont have to stay in the enclosure for your lunch breaks.
Ashton Grist me not being able to tell if this is a joke or not
Where did you even get the ideas for some of the myths?!
The "myths" are normally gathered by repeatedly reading the same questions in the groups. People read it somewhere and believe it is true.
some of the myths were told to us by sellers that seem ONLY interested in a profit not that the new owners have good information. they will tell you what you want to hear, NO smell, bond with other pets "SURE", don't bite, etc etc.... ok that will be $400 for our starter kit with small cage, no wheel, and average diet food.
Hi, I don’t know if you have any experience with this but I have a nauseated male and female and I think that my male is trying to mate with me and it makes my female mad. I’m not really sure how to approach this with them because I am trying to pay more attention to my female to keep her from getting jealous and it seems to be working with her but my boy has started licking me a lot and then he will grab onto me and lick and kind of bite me but not hard. I’m just not sure what to do. Any advice?
Sorry neutered not nauseated ! Lol
It sounds to me like he is simply trying to taste and maybe mark you. Maybe you are using a perfume/soap that smells very sweet. It doesn't sound like he is trying to mate with you :-) Just give them both the attention they deserve.
Awesome Sugar Glider Mommy Thanks. I am trying to bond with both of them at the same time for about 5 months now. One thing is for sure that they have very different personalities so I’m still trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t. The licking and grabbing is new and I just wasn’t sure, Yoshi, my boy is a bit harder to read sometimes, he seems pretty calm and maybe more nervous than Lucy. She is very outgoing but she is the one who if she feels threatened or uncomfortable is more likely to bite me. He had never bit but I thought it was strange that he was licking and grabbing onto me and trying to climb on me and lick and bite and she gets mad at him and goes after him when he does it and wants him to stop. I’m not encouraging it but it happens sometimes when I’m just trying to pet him or if they are out playing and I’m not doing anything he really likes my feet and hands.
You look like Hailee Steinfeld
thanks
chould you tell me a male sugar dliders should have how many female ？if I want to breed a lots of sugar gliders
I am not a breeder. If you want to breed you should consider contacting a reputable breeder from one of the big groups on Facebook and talk to them about the positive and negative sides of breeding before considering it 😊
@@AwesomeSugarGliderMommy could you give thier fb user id？
lol i clicked asap
I was actually quite shocked when I saw the video already has a comment! :-D You are fast!
lol. i was excited because my suggies first oopday was yesterday and it is a coincidence that you posted a day after =)
Funny thing is one of my sugar gliders name is daisy and she has a bump on her chest and we just found it out today and we don’t know if she’s pregnant please comment on your thoughts on what it might be and if she’ll be fine
I can't tell you what it is or if she will be fine as I am not a vet. If you are concerned, which I would be if I found a bump, you should take her to a vet and have her checked! I hope she is ok :-)
Thanks so much for helping me out with that thanks I had found that it was just a soft bump we are new sugar gilder owners and I have a thing my mom,sister and i do we got a masqueto tent sorry I know I spelled that wrong anyways we get them and get in with them and they get to let out there energy and jump on us I highly recommend it thanks again for this thank you
how do you handle them with out hurting them?
Jade Ratzlaff Don’t grab them from the top, scoop them up with both hands from under. They will either go on or walk/run away if they don’t want to be picked up. They aren’t fragile and you can’t hurt them easily unless you were really trying to hurt them.
🤭🤭🤭
Fifth like! Can i get a shoutout?
potty training. my gus or sophie will jump on me and go potty. its like they NEED to mark me as their property/owner, even if I wait till after they wake up and pee. My wife will take her glider out of the pouch, pet him for 3 minutes as he pees and poops. she then transfers him into her bra and she doesn't get peed on, her glider is trained enough that she doesn't get relieved on.
I have a sugar glider and I will tell you there poop Dosent smell once I drys ik it’s gross but it’s true unlike a hamster there cage dosen’t smell a lot
Their poop does not smell, their pee does if you don't clean the cage regularly. Eventually the urine gathers and starts to smell, but I can imagine that it will take a while until the smell becomes noticeable.
shes cute
You’ve made some good points but you lacked the explanation.
- Rodents teeth never stop growing. Suggies may look like rodents but they’re not, they’re possums. They’re teeth stop growing like ours.
- Cats carry a chemical in their claws that can act like a toxin. If the claw breaks the skin of a small animal like a bird or suggie, the chemical can have a toxic effect and kill the animal.
- In nature Suggies kill and eat small birds so birdie play dates aren’t advised.
- Most animals have a “prey drive”. This is a sort of focus the animal goes into at the sight of something moving quickly. They are driven to chase and catch the fast moving thing. This drive is intentionally manipulated in advanced dog training techniques. Chase/attack is about the motion of the prey, not about smells. If it runs, it must be caught and shook! This is why dogs love catch any why they chase moving things. The dog will chase and kill a Suggie and then be sorry about it afterwards.
- My personal experience: They can choose to emit a pungent spicy-sweet smell. Mine have no smell. I’ve even smelled myself after being pee’d on and I can’t detect an odour BUT I’ve been on another floor and detected a very strong odour that disparates.
- Suggies are exotic pets and thus when they need help they need an exotic vet.
- KEEP CHILDREN AWAY!!! I am a 285 lb man with forearms that are 8 inches in diameter of muscle. My 2 year old small suggie was on my forearm an inch from the floor of his cage and I needed him off. I thought I’d be clever and just rotate my arm fast. Well, he held on and I had deep, bleeding gashes from EACH of his claws on EACH foot. That was 2 months ago, I still have scars on my arm.
Thank you for your input!
Spoiler Alert sugar gliders aren’t possums lmao
Do sugar glidrs like guinea pigs?
They should not interact with any other animals ever. Sugar Gliders should be kept in groups among other sugar gliders, out of reach for any other animals :-)
@@AwesomeSugarGliderMommy Oh thanks!!
Looking hot I'm this one
1 sugar glider is already too expensive, if I live in new Jersey, shouldn't they give you a companion for your sugar glider for free? Im new to owning sugar gliders, and i think they should give you 1 free for your sugar glider.
Sugar gliders should always be kept in pairs or colonies, never alone 🙂
@@AwesomeSugarGliderMommy oh.. well i guess im not getting any then. 🙁
@@haileydunn7796 Save up and then get two 😃
Solitary sugar's gliders need someone every second unless there sleeping that's how they work
They need another sugar glider at least. Humans do not replace interaction with other sugar gliders just how a sugar glider would not replace a human friend.
Your not a vet there are a lot vets on TH-cam telling the truth please ppl listen to real vets about your pets not people who think they know what there talking about. Your abusing your pet if you don't listen to professional vets
See real vet. Sugarglidervet on TH-cam
The information in this video is just as good as vets, she knows the sugar glider very well and thank you for being a very responsible person that cares to share ur information and ur experiences I can tell u care very deeply about the care and health of sugar gliders , hugs thank you for sharing
why every sugar glider owner is literally obsessed and so extra about their care? I mean that's a fucking wild animal... ofc is not that weak lmao
The sugar gliders we have in our care are (hopefully) not wild animals as they have been bred in captivity. Furthermore, wild sugar gliders have an average lifespan of 5-7 years, while the ones in captivity live up to 15 years thanks to their "obsessed" owners that keep them safe and healthy.
