I’m finally getting my sugar glider. What do I need?

I’ve been talking to a local breeder and I’ve been waiting to adopt the little joey for about a month. (He wasn’t old enough yet.)

I already have a cage ready.

And they are giving me a travel cage, a water bottle and food bowl.

What else do I need. I know I need some toys, but is there something I’m missing?
I do have food and a bonding pouch. Sorry, forgot to mention that.

I have one sugar glider and now want to get another…?

I bought my first sugar glider about a month and a half ago. He was in this ratty pet store and didn’t get any attention there and I bought him, or rescued him in my opinion. He’s about a year and a half old and now I wana get him a partner. Should I get a baby (joey) or should I get one about his age? Thanks for any help!

Sugar gliders Bowel and Bladder habits?

My sister has a 10 mo. male,sugar glider.The sugar glider has increased in urination and bowel movements to less than every 30 minutes. Thus, the overall frequency between urination has increased in the past month. The diet remains pretty consistent with daily blueberries, corn, tofu, papaya, yogurt sweet potato and apple.

Is this increase in bladder habit normal?
Is he marking his territory?
If he was neutered would this decrease the amount of urination?
Do you have any other suggestions regarding this matter?

I appreciate your help.

Sugar glider diet?

I adopted an adult female glider about a month ago. Every night, I dutifully chop of an array of fruits and veggies, hand-feed her mealworms, and add crickets and a peanut or two to the fruit. She also has some Sugar glider science diet that she won’t touch, and I put a small bowl of mango pulp in her cage.

Problem is, she ALWAYS goes for the peanuts first, sometimes eats a cricket or two crickets, and doesn’t touch the fruit (peaches, apples, mangoes, honeydew, strawberries and grapes in little bite-size pieces). Occasionally I’ll throw in a small piece of carrot, a kernel of corn and a lima bean. She’ll lick at the mango pulp a little (it’s a new addition), won’t touch the science diet pellets, and if I let her, she’ll eat 25 or 30 mealworms (which I don’t let her anymore!). I don’t think she knows how a glider is supposed to eat!

What can I do to get her to expand her diet? I know too much
I live in FL, which is one of the few states in which it is legal to own a sugar glider without an exotic pet license. The only thing you can’t do is breed them for money. I’ve done my homework.
