They get along very well and are very social and tame. I am asking for 300 for the pair and would like to find them a good home. If you were needing a cage for them for the travel i have a smaller one but i wouldnt suggest using it for good because bigger ones are much better for the lil ones.

Important background story:

About 2 years ago I got a female sugar glider.. We were told by the pet store that she was a baby…come to find out she wasn’t. She allowed me to play with her if I wore gloves, and sometimes even without.
I read that sugar gliders can die of depression if they get too lonely and that it was recommended to have at least 2.
We went to get another sugar glider and the store insisted I get a male and refused to sell me a female. I got the male and he ended up to be almost a year old at the time. He is EXTREMELY hostile and viscious. He will not let me anywhere near him or my female at all.
They’ve mated and I have 2 babies that I saw for the first time today, hanging out of the pouch. I’m scared that the babies might have becomed detatched from the nipple and I really need to check on them and the female.
The male will NOT let me in the cage at all. Im very scared, HELP.
I have tried all the bonding methods with the male and still no luck. I also tried to reach in and grab him to separate him from the mother (who wants to come out to me) but he grabs onto her and I am afraid he will hurt her or the babies.

i have a sugar glider – its like a flying squirrel anyone else?

Okay, I have a pair of sugar gliders that have lived in a very large cage for a good few months. They have NEVER paid more mind to their wodent wheel *which is actually safe, i dun mah research* than the three legged on getting inside to scratch an itch with his stump *i’d have to say he’s embarrassed about it* But tonight, my baby girl decided to make this discovery and make full use of it. She wasn’t stuck in it or anything, she’d run a bit then stop and poke her head out, but my GOD I’d never known how noisey that thing could be *the wheel, I’m well aware of the noises they make when trying to establish who should eat first* So I took it out.
Do you think that was a bit cruel? I’m thinking in the sense of it made her happy and wasn’t hurting her, just keeping me up, which either way I prolly won’t get back to sleep.
And then I had a conversation with the male. He titered, so I tittered, and it went back and forth. Strange?
It was kinda cute, actually.
While the toy was still in the cage, she wasn’t shy in the sense that opening the door of it sent her into hiding in their t-shirt hammoc thing, but now they’re both all hole up. Do ya think it thay’re mad at me?
Yes, I know the sound of an angry sugar glider, I know it well. But not every person yells and screams when ticked. That’s where the silent treatment comes from, and I like to beleive that animals aren’t all that far behind with complex thoughts, if that makes sense.
The exercise point is valid, though like I said, or meant to, they’ve had the wheel almost as long as I’ve had them and neither one is at all fat from ignoreing it.
It’s not the wheel squeeking. It’s the way they run, it weird like they jump up on the side of it as though they intend to make that irritating thump sound. I don’t have it out forever by any means, but I also don’t want them to feel like they can’t use it. I’m torn between sleep *also hindered by the temp of the room, it’s too friggin warm, even with the window cracked to the cold night air* and the happiness of my babies. I”m not as good to them as I should be *and great pet owners aren’t all that common round here, so right now my mom and me are the best option they’ve got, you should see the conditions the lady I almost sold them to keeps her skunk in. a small kennel is it’s home and all the space it ever has, because it’s “not nice” and they;re too dumb to tame him. don’t get me started on their cats and dogs….* and I sure as hell don’t want to make them unhappy.
Trying to force a sugar glider to sleep at night would be like telling a person that they cant be awake unless it’s dark outside…. They’re nocturnal, only active at night. I’ve met gliders that can be prodded into play durring the day, but otherwise they’ll be asleep soon after the sun comes up and wake up soon after it goes down *not a whole lotta waking hours there*

I guess a large towel/blenket would muffel the sound, but I’m also thinking if it’s enough to do that, it’s enough to cut off air flow. They weren’t awake because it was cold, they were awake because that’s when all of them are awake.

As for oiling the axel, I repeat, it’s the thump not the squeek. That’d be a good sug. if it was a snandard hamster wheen, but wodent wheels are solid on the bottom, back, and have circles in the front to protect the animals tail and feet. A wire wheel can easily mame or kill…. and I wouldn’t take that risk with mah babies!
