And you’re basing this off of…. personal experience with killing sugar gliders? I think I’ll trust Pocket Pets, the largest distributor of gliders in North America.
Cats originally ate raw meat in the wild, and while it is OFFICIALLY healthier for them to still do so, I don’t think you’ll find any vet saying that Mr. Whiskers’ Meow Mix won’t suffice. The specialized pellet food I feed Mojo has been proven, along with a vitamin powder and an apple every night, to sustain healthy gliders.

Lol @ this lady: “this piece of shit animal is going to bite you, pee all over you, and force you to give it bugs. And unfortunately it will live for 15 years.” That cute little sugar glider on her arm has no idea that this woman is just boiling over with hatred for it.

I don’t care how much you want one, I hope that you never get one. For both the benefit of you and the glider.

im sorry lady but ur a moron ive done my research on these pets and heres some facts: they only bite when theyre little and its because they are scared of you they dont no u, theyre uran because they r marsupials is scentlis and they only pee a few drops every 4 hours, also they get along great with anybody and any animal but snakes(for ovious reasons) if they are raised right and they dont particularly make to much noiseexept wen theyrescared but they are mesyeaters

She explained why a 15 yr life span can be bad. You might not have time for it if you go to college. Sugar Gliders can get particularly lonely. Dogs get lonely but they don’t go nuts from it. If you don’t spend enough time with your glider or have a partner or a group for your Sugar Glider, they have been known to mutilate themselves all over their body and even chew off their own genitals. Dogs do not do that.
Sugar Gliders are great but they demand a responsible owner to live healthily.

@Epicfail333
I really hope you are trolling. It saddens me to think that a human can sound this stupid.
Also, I’ll just go ahead and assume you’ve done your research, but you didn’t say you have ever actually OWNED one?
They do bite as adults. I know this from first hand evidence.
Also, WTF at your statement “they get along great with… any animal”?!! They murder hamsters, a common house hold pet. They eviscerate them like ninjas slaying pigs.

Lol, yeah, pretty much.
Except sugar gliders aren’t pussies.

The wild ones are yes. The bigger ones are much more agressive, especially the brushtails…theyre buggers of things lol
