I think your cause is a good one trying to inform people about sugar gliders, because like myself at one time was like “oh sugar gliders those are cute I want one as a pet”. People do need to understand that it is a chore and does cost.

Where did you get your glider? They do indeed need some mealworms as they are insectivores… Does your glider have special coloring or is it a standard gray? Standard gray gliders should not cost more than 150-175 dollars. You can get color variations such as WF and WFB for 200-350 dollars

If you do not clean their cage properly then the smell can build up and become more noticeable. Males that are not neutered have a more noticeable smell.

It is not her fault. If you had this habit would you like to be criticized all the damn time for talking about something you really love… just because you say “um” a lot? Funny how amongst all of the meaningful words we can only point out those without meaning. I took a speech course in college and SO many people have this same problem. It isn’t that easy to fix and you don’t even notice that you do it until somebody points it out. She was trying to help people not pass a speech course.

In the near future I would love to have two gliders. But for now I’m trying to find as much info as I can on them and really be sure that I want one.
On a glider site, I read that they were omnivores. But here she said their insectivores.
What I want to know is, which is true? And if they are insectivores, does it matter if the insects are live, or frozen?
Thanks for any and all help :]

Sorry, I meant to type “really be sure I want TWO”

They are basically both haha They can eat feeder mice though many people do nto feed them to their gliders, as well as fruits and veggies. They love mealworms the most as far as insects go. They love them live but if you are afraid of handling live mealworms put them in the freezer or use tweezers to feed them to your gliders. Freeze dried mealworms are not as nutritious, so live is best! ^.^ Visit GliderCentral for awesome info!

If an animal is classified as an omnivore, it means that they eat both plants and animals as their primary food source. In this case, insects fall into the “animal” category. Basically, sugar gliders are omnivores because they eat insects and fruits and vegetables.
In my opinion, live mealworms and crickets are the best for sugar gliders. However, if you are really squeamish about handling live insects feeding your glider frozen insects is ok too!

Regardless of what she’s doing, I repeat; SHE IS NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE. There are plenty of other people they could have gotten who can speak without reiterating the same word incessantly.
