Before You Adopt a Glider...
There are a number of things to think about before adopting a sugar glider.
First in my mind is: What other indoor pets do you have? Cats? Dogs?
We have four cats who tend to come & go pretty much as they choose, indoors & out,
yet I like to give our gliders "Play Time" out of the cage for an hour or so each morning and/or evening, as well as at other times of the day occasionally.
This means that I have to send at least 3 of our kitty friends outside for a while...
JJ (adult male Persian) grew up with Darlin & will let her do as she pleases, undisturbed, but Muzbe will literally chase the poor fellow out of a room if he's in while Muzbe is playing, so JJ usually heads for the door on his own. >smile<
(Muzbe has no idea that he himself really ISN'T a grizzly bear)
BUT, when my Mom leaves her home, she almost always has "Princess"
(her 12-y/o Pomeranian) with her. The first time Princess came visiting,
she went straight to Darlin's cage & started having a fit to get to her.
The second & third visits were the same, even tho Mom tried to hold Princess in
her arms. So, to Mom's distress, Princess isn't a visitor in our home these days.
Second in my mind is: Are you a Knick-Knack Collector? We are... >sigh<
if you want to have a glider AND your knick-knacks, you'll have to "Glider-Proof"
a "Safe Area" in your home, or chance having your glider hurt, or something
broken when your glider is out playing. For instance, the digital camera that
I left sitting on the edge of my desk recently... >siiiiigh<
