Sugar Gliders make the best pets. So cute.
The Sugar Glider is a nocturnal marsupial, native to the southern pacific, specifically Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and now introduced to Tasmania. Lately, the popularity of Sugar Gliders as pets in North America has exploded as a replacement of typical pets such as guinnea pigs and ferrets. In our opinion, Sugar Gliders make the best pets.
Not only are they small, furry and cute but also curious, playful and energetic. While some pet owners do not like their nocturnal night time energy, others find it the perfect balance for their sleepy calm demeanor during the day.
Sugar Gliders need a lot of love and maintenance and many supplies. Additionally, having a companion glider will help curb their natural desire to be around others in their species. Give them a cage with plenty of room, water and some eucalyptus and they will be a lifelong friend. Think of them as a tiny and more cuddly version of a koala bear. They are small deliberate movers during the day and hyperactive scavengers at night.
The Sugar Glider's long tail and flaps that allow it to glide from high above in the trees is akin to a flying squirrel here in North America. They are agile and acrobatic and can provide endless entertainment given the right toys. There are stores online where you can buy Sugar Glider equipment and supplies, including acrobatic toys for them to play with.
Breeding of Sugar Gliders is of much debate. Thousands of people monthly search for free Sugar Gliders online. We must be cautious of how we breed these amazing animals and the number we artificially introduce as pets. While they may make great pets, mass breeding as with any other animal can cause serious defects and health issues and any breeder should be looked into.
A great source for finding a healthy Sugar Glider as a pet is to check in with your local wildlife rescue center, although finding one can be difficult in North America. Getting a healthy glider is so important for the species and your family. It is rare that vets will have some that came into their clinics. In Australia, you can often find free Sugar Gliders. Whatever you choose, look forward to having one of the cutest, cuddly and loyal pet you'll ever experience. They are fun to watch especially at night when they turn their cages into acrobatic showcases.
