you can keep them in darwin but its pretty silly seeing they hate the heat.
I really did not intend for this to become a debate about cats...
Anybody else have Sugar Glider photos..?
I'll try take some new ones tonight or tomorrow and post them!Anybody else have Sugar Glider photos..?
They don't hate the heat, they are quite well evolved to deal with it. There is a northern subspecies, Petaurus Breviceps Ariel, which is found all along the coastal parts of NT and into WA.you can keep them in darwin but its pretty silly seeing they hate the heat.
Yes, they are colony animals, Marz on here has a big colony of 15+ gliders, both exes I would assume.whats the story with keeping them? only one male per enclosure? will he do multiple girls (can they be kept in groups?)?
Decc would rather you keep cats ryan
hahhaha, cool.... yes, I would love to keep a few of the fury critters.... but even if I could I would still dislike you SAers :lol:
If you want a furry critter to play with why not a plains rat or hopping mouse,be happy with the selection that has been provided for you by DECC,buy a big furry Humphey B Bear for Xmas.
The reason you cant keep possums and wallabys in NSW is you would not know how to look after them,you would feed them VB and polish salami,DeCCs know better.
That's just a little dome tent I play with them in. They love climbing all around the walls of it.Haha, taken the little critters camping?
If yours do get their act together and breed try handling the babies from a very young age (3 weeks out of pouch (oop)) and you'll hopefully then have at least 1-2 tame ones. My old female was like yours, and it wasn't fun trying to get her 2 male joeys off her for a hold, those bites even stung through gardening gloves! He he, but the perisitance payed off, cause now my males are awesome, females are ok too, but not quite as tame as I only got them at around 9 weeks oop, whereas the boys I was holding from 3-4 weeks, and then took them away from the psycho mother at 9 weeks oop.Greg, great looking gliders! I wish I were able to hold mine like that. If I were to handle them like you are in the photos, i'd soon be missing fleshy chunks from my hands and alot of blood.
Oh yes, thats it... I was looking through the the whole list of mammals available the other day, just couldn't make up my mind which one to pick...... I would buy a Humphry B Bear, but he doesn't have any pants and I don't want my kids to be freaked out....
