Gliders rock!
Rocket, sorry it took me so long to reply, I only just found this thread. I wouldn't say i'm an experienced sugar glider owner, but I did have a breeding pair (Tips and Pips) for just over 2 years, they finally had some babies, 2 males (TJ and Sherbet), which I was able to handle from a young age and tame. I then regretfully sold the parents and now have the 2 baby boys, they are now almost 6 months old. I'll try post some pics of them and the dad. I would agree with Marz though, keeping one alone is not a great idea, although they may be ok, most will be lonely and the longer they are alone the more likely they will lose their glider social skills, and if you try and introduce another glider down the track it may be a nightmare. Also I would suggest only getting another female unless you intend to become a breeder. Now for the pics! They are the cutest and most adorable little pets.
