Anyone here have sugar gliders? I have 2 male white faced blonds Buddy and Charlie(father and son) of my own. And then I also sorta have 2 white face het females Gracie and Chloe (mother daughter). The two girls went to live with my friend since I'm at college and don't have time for all of them, but they get visits every weekend . I wish there was a glider board on here

We used to have a breeding pair ( Clarice and Crouger) but they were not very tame. We spent ages sat in a tent with them to try and build up the relationship with them. The joeys they had were very tame though as we made sure we handled them. We sadly let them go to someone who is experienced in gliders as the male was very smelly and I couldnt handle it anymore it was getting rediculous as I would clean the cage and he would be straight out senting everywhere.

They do require a lot of attention, but once you do the research and know what they require I wouldnt say they are too difficult to care for. Their diet is very important and is the main thing people tend to mess up with. I use a diet used by a well known breeder (Pricilla Price) which requires ordering vitamins, pellets, and monkey bisciuts online and mixing up fruits/veggies, chicken, egg, applesauce, wheat germ, orange juice concentrate, and yogurt, as well as meal worms and/or grasshoppers. They need daily out of cage time and really bond to their owner. They also need to be kept in pairs and require a large cage. The males can smell, but if kept on a good diet and have a good cage cleaning schedule they don't smell bad at all. All gliders scent mark so cage cleaning must be done in steps. For example, I will change bedding and wash down the cage but not wash their toys/pouches for a couple more days. I have two un neutered males that live together and they don't smell nealry as bad as some other animals I've been around (like ferrets). They are wonderful little pets, so sweet! Charlie will sleep just curled up in my hand for hours.

Here are some more pictures of my gliders

Buddy chillin out on my shoulder:



Chloe as a 2 week oop joey:





Charlie at 2 weeks oop (you can see how he is lighter grey and is lacking the black bar behind his ear giving him the White face blond(WFB) coloring) He also has a blond(yellowy) tent on his face, which isn't clear in these photos:



Both joeys:





Charlie all grown up sleeping in my pocket:



I also attached pics of my little jowy that was rejected by his mother(Gracie), and sadly passed away despite us trying to hand raise. This is him before his eyes even opened, he was a very large joey for his age.
