ok. i splurged for my son...male and female sugar gliders with female having two jeoys(babies) in her pouch. they are registered with the USDA ....license to breed. I will have two available in a couple months when they are weened from mommy. for now, here is the male....in his wodent whell. they run for miles in there. i feed the a high protein wamboo diet(hpw) fruits/veggies/raisins, wamboo bisquits, honey sometimes and sugar cane oh and they love meal worms....favorite food. they are tame, will eat out of your hand, and high maintenance! here comes the male pics and his supper at the lower end of the huge cage....higher end contains yogurt with herptivite and reptocal suppliments to avoid MBD. enjoy

I would not feel bad at all about having a "zoo". These type of animals are the type you can not just have one or two of. Congrats on your new pets!

They are sooooo cute! Someone told me that they smell terribly. Is that true or is it just a matter of keeping the cage clean?

they do have a smell...i use an air purifyer in my sons room. i have learned to actually love the smell, but it isnt awful. if fed properly, on a right diet, and cage items cleaned, but not obsessively as the male will make it worse if he is not neutered, they dont have a smell anything compared to a ferret. if that makes sense. mommy just had her joeys. i'll have to check if they are male, female, or both of one sex. their joeys go for 200.00 a piece usually. these are noprmal greys. you can not interbreed parental lines. i dont smell much and i hold them all the time and as obsessive about germs as i am....i have wanted to go ahead and get a leucistic glider. they run from 2200 dollars and breed maybe 4 times a year, each joey being that much when sold. if you have three breeding females, you neeed to get usda licensed but really easy. there are different color variations, white faced, cinnamon(redder) leucist...leucistic het. white tailes, blondes, cremos, mosaics...i want..lol...and a few others i may be missing. i love them. nobody can smell them when outside my sons' room and when inside most have said it wasnt bad at all. i clean out the poop tray lol every other day. give them a fresh clean sleeping pouch once a week and alternate between cleaning toys. I think a dirty wet towel could knock me wayyyy off my feet compared to their smell. somewhere near the lines of a hampster/guinea pig i'd say...not anything near a ferret. i'll post pics of the babies as soon as i can. they arent born hairless like mice out of the pouch. they look like shaved mom and dad with peach fuzz full of hair. adorable! i wouldnt keep smelly animals in my house to be honest. they are great. but not a pet for everyone. they are an exotic and very expensive upkeep sometimes and also new cage toys etc. high demand for them though. just look at craigslist. unfortunately a lot on there wont be healthy:( kristy
