Sugar Gliders can anyone help me?

Im looking to buy a sugar glider but dont know if u can train it to go to the bathroom like a cat or dog or how active they are at nite are they clean animals? friendly? mean? shy? playful? please help

please help me decide on a pet?

ok, so i already have a doggy, an outdoor cat, 2 horses, a hamster, a free-roaming bunny, and 2 fish. I’m trying to think of a cute cuddly fun easy somewhat-cheap pet. it’s not that i’m bored of my other animals but that i have extra time and i could use it with another pet. i want something that is gonna want to be held SOMETIME, but not be lazy and boring. i like ferrets but my mom says they stink. do they? i also like chinchillas but she thinks they stink too. again, do they? what kind of cool pets do u think i would like? something kinda unusual might b fun too. sugar gliders? idk. please help.
i have extra time cuz my fam all helps out. my sis plays with the animals too. my dad helps me feed them all. my mom helps too. so it’s not just me, or i wouldn’t ever have any extra time! all my friends love my pets too and play with them

Small Pet Foods?

I hear all the time about the subject of dog and cat food, about which is healthier, what stuff should&shouldn’t be in it. So, I decided to read my chinchilla’s food ingrediants, I found some food colorings in it along with words I cannot pronounce and I don’t even know if they’re good or bad, but I do know that the colorings aren’t too good. So I wonder, why doesn’t anyone discuss the small pet foods? Are guinea pigs, bunnies, chinchillas, gerbils, and cage pets just too insignificant, or is it easy to meet their dietary needs because they’re herbivores. But then comes the fact that people also keep hedgehogs, sugar gliders, ferrets and other omnivorous pets.. I’ve never read their food ingrediants, but with the way dog&cat food is, I’m sure that is just the same, with all the fillers and such. With us not protesting, because we don’t bother to think about it, small pet food companies are going to continue being “cheap” and adding fillers, making the little guys suffer.
I didn’t have enough room to add this, but I just decided to look up hedgie stuff. Here’s what I got…

“Hedgehogs feed on insects, snails, frogs and toads, snakes, bird eggs, carrion, mushrooms, grass roots, berries, melons, and watermelons.”

Found that on Wiki, and here are the first ingrediants of some random hedgehog feed..

BLOOD MEAL, SOYBEAN MEAL, GROUND CORN, CORN GLUTEN MEAL, WHOLE ROASTED SOYBEANS, TALLOW, CANE MOLASSES,

Lots of corn, I don’t think they’re supposed to have that, and blood meal? Another one of those ‘from what?’ subjects..
I’m not trying to find good foods, just wondering why people don’t really worry about it.

What does it mean when my Sugar Glider…?

My sugar glider makes this load noise that sounds like an alarm clock. Why does it make it? And it’s done it alot lately, ever sense my cat started sleeping in my room. Could it be doing it because of the cat or some other reason?
It’s not crabbing. I know what that is because I heard enough of it when I was starting to train him. This is different. He won’t stop till I get up and pet him! He’ll even do it when it’s just me in the room and not the cat. (My cat is deaf and has one eye btw, so he dosn’t even know the sugar glider is there! lol) But this sound he makes is very loud and sounds like an alarm clock going off. Could this just be him jealous of the cat sleeping on my bed? Or just wanting me to get up and pay him attention?

I want another pet very badly..?

I probably want another rodent- being as we are defenatley not getting another dog and not getting a cat. No ferrets, chinchillas, rabbits, or sugar gliders, because they cost way too much. No rats, either. Unless you have a nice story to tell me. Any pets that I might like? Please help.
I am very good with animals and I love them all… Some just cost waaay too much.
and I know how to take care of hamsters.
no hermies… bad experience..
