Vital Statistics

Quick Fun Facts on Suggies:
1. They are nocturnal, and in the wild sleep in tree hollows
2. They are very playful and need a lot of love and attention
3. Though they are not yet fully domesticated, well cared for suggies will bond with their owners, becoming incredibly attached to you, in the same way a cat or dog would
4. In the wild they can glide HUNDREDS of feet - though so far I think the farthest mine have is about 3!
5. They make a variety of different, varyingly cute sounds to hear them go here: http://www.angelfire.com/nb/sugarglider/sounds/


IMPORTANT INFO for prospective owners:
1. You should NEVER keep a sugar glider by itself -this can lead to them becoming depressed, and eventually they may die
2. They need a very specific Calcium to Phosphate ratio in their diet or they can become very ill (this sounds complex, but is actually fairly easy in practise -there are a lot of guides on this topic online)
3. They can't be potty trained, but once you get to know your gliders you will recognise the warning signs and can get out of the way!


FINALLY: There is a lot of crap on the internet about sugar gliders - stick to using information from trusted sites with very experienced owners. (I also find UK sites are better as there has been a large scandal in the US in recent years -long story short a mill breeder paid off a vet to make a series of videos on youtube about suggies, if you've come across any of these videos PLEASE IGNORE THEM, some of the info on there is correct, but a lot of it has been created in order to boost the companies sales by making suggies seem a more attractive pet!)
